Hi, Usually when we change the timing belt, we will change the water pump since they involve the same labour cost. But what if the water pump is leaking when the car is almost 4 years old at 40k, do we change the timing belt because we are changing water pump? Or is my friend mech trying to earn more money?

More drivers have been caught by the Traffic Police for not putting on seat belts or appropriate restraints for children travelling in vehicles. The number has doubled in the first half of this year, compared to the same period last year. This follows changes to seat belt rules in the beginning of the year. Since January, anyone below the height of 1.35 metres needs to be properly secured - either with seat belts, child restraints or booster seat cushions - when travelling in a car. Previously, the seat belt rule applies to children aged eight and below. Police say in the first half of the year, 490 drivers were caught for failing to belt up their young passengers, compared to 220 in the same period last year. Parents say they find it challenging to belt up their children. "You need to offer some incentives, sweets and all sorts of funny things, all the distractions. It actually has its practical issues." "The kids find it uncomfortable but we try to force it onto them. Otherwise, we just don't move off because it is important for them, for their safety." "Of course as a parent, we just need to tell them that this is for their safety. If I'm struggling, if they refuse to put the seat belt on, I just use force to buckle them up. After that, they just cry a little, then it's ok." One psychologist says it's understandable that kids do not like to be restrained, but parents need to think safety first and not give in to their children. Dr Qu Li, Assistant Professor, Division of Psychology, Nanyang Technological University, said: "Parents need to know more about how to deal with the situation and more about safety issues. For example, in Singapore, once in a while, we will see parents putting young children at the front passenger seat, which is not safe at all. Some parents may think this seat is safe, there is an air bag to protect the children. For younger children who are so short, when the air bags blow open, it will completely cover their face. They can't breath. They will die." She said adults need to get creative when teaching kids the importance of belting up. Dr Qu said: "If we just say, bring a textbook, this is rule number 1, number 2, number 3, children of course won't follow it. But if we say, "let's play a game, you're the driver, I'm the passenger, and what we will do." Children can learn very fast. Also I think what they learn during the pre-school years, they will remember. That will also help when they grow up and become teenagers." Police stressed the importance of drivers taking responsibility for their own safety and the safety of their young passengers. Those who flout the seat-belt rules will be fined $120, and given three demerit points. Source: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1225638/1/.html -

Bought a 2nd hand car planning for short term usage. Asked my regular workshop to open up to check the condition of Timing belt. He did it and say Timing belt looks ok as the numbering printing is still intact and clearly shown and edge of timing belt show no sign of wear and tear. Was worrying as i will be driving to genting with family next month. Technician also ask me crank slowly and all look fine. Does that sounded good enough to last for trips to genting and run for another 1 year? Thanks for your value view.

In 1993, the Road Traffic Act made buckling-up mandatory for backseat passengers at least 1.5m in height. Anyone in the rear caught not wearing a seat belt was slapped with a $120 fine, while the vehicle’s driver would be fined the same amount and given three demerit points. Despite these penalties, many people flouted the rule (and still do, to this day). The excuses given by recalcitrant passengers range from “the belts are uncomfortable” to “the back seat is safer anyway”. Others even proclaimed that they had a “safe driver”, and believed they would never get into an accident. This attitude echoes the initial resistance by local motorists to the wearing of front seat belts, which became compulsory in 1981. Many, including driving instructors, argued that seat belts would hinder their chances of escaping an automobile in a serious collision, especially if their hands were injured. Although the rear seat belt law was intended to enhance safety, it wasn’t all-encompassing. While every new car registered on or after January 1, 1993 had to have rear seat belts, owners of older cars weren’t required to retrofit their vehicles with extra seat belts. Even though seat belts have long been proven to save lives in a car crash, they remain unpopular among rear passengers. During a one-week crackdown in 2002, for instance, the Traffic Police issued no less than 587 warnings to rear-seat occupants who did not belt up The Government stepped up its efforts to improve passenger safety seven years later, when all purpose-built MPVs (multi-purpose vehicles) had to have seat belts for each of the back seats. Specifically, every outboard seat in every rear row has to have a three-point belt, while the middle seats should be equipped with a lap belt at the very least. The authorities were very serious about this new ruling, even if it did come into effect on April 1, 2009 (April Fool’s Day). The real fools, however, are the back-seat passengers who persist in not belting up. In the event of (touch wood) a bad traffic accident, they could end up being transported in the back of a vehicle exempt from Singapore’s rear seat belt law – a hearse This article was written by Jeremy Chua, writer for Torque.

Hi, I had my car making funny noise and my ws diagnose that I need to change the fan belt tensioner and pulley. That solved my problem but now I have another issue. Usually when I am stopping at the red light, my RPM s jumping up and down before it is stabilizing. I also noticed that the rpm also changing when I'm rotating my steering wheel. Anyone know what the problem might be? Is it related with the tensioner that I just changed?
