mulfunction indicator lamp
Hi all, I had my clutch disc replaced today with the 055 version and was really pleased with the outcome 
problem 1:
but the very evening, the mulfunction indicator came on (and stayed on) all of a sudden while I was V'teching my baby ........, checked the gas cap ....... it was tight ..... hmmmm not too sure how is this related to the clutch disc replacement ..... otherwise the car drives as per normal without any obvious faults that I can detect.
problem2:
Further, I have the frequent problem of the car shakes everytime I disengage the gear at a low gears ........ not too sure if it is my driving ... but it always occur at low speed and reversing too
would really appreciate if u s2K gurus could help with come advice ......

No such thing as a malfunction indicator lamp.....you have two choices:
1) Maintenance Indicator Lamp (Maint. Reqd on dash)- This lamp comes on when you need service and is programmed into the ECU to remind you to service the vehicle. First comes on aroung 6,000 miles for the 7+ service.
2) Check Engine Light (Picture of a small engine says check on it) - This light comes on when the OBD-II diagnostic system has a code set in it. A dealer or mechanic can pull the code and tell you what it is. Or if you get it I can tell you if you PM me. If this light starts to flash....it is a major problem and the car should be towed to a dealer. Do not drive the car with a flashing check engine light.
Which of the two is it ?

ulysses, no matter what cause that, you shouuld take your car to the dealer and show them the problems and ask them to fix for you. thats what I will do if that happen to me, hope Singapore works the same way.
