Why does my Subaru make a scraping noise while in reverse?
Sound is worse while in reverse. Took a look this morning under the car to see if a stone was in an obvious place. Unfortunately, it was not. Won’t have time to take the tire off until later in the week. I will post findings as I move forward with it.
Why is my Subaru Crosstrek making a grinding noise?
Noticed the loud screeching and grinding noise at low speeds last night coming home and freaked out, but just as a few have explained in this thread (THANK YOU), it was a rock stuck between the rotor and the dust cover.
What does it mean when your car splashes through a puddle?
Splashing through deep puddles — those no deeper than about 6 inches, or slightly above the bottom of the oil pan — is common enough that most manufacturers build cars to account for it. If a quick dunk into a puddle or a brief splash causes your engine to stall, then odds are water got into something electrical and shorted it.
When does a car make a rattling noise?
You may hear them when you start your car, when you drive it or when you apply the brakes. They may occur only when the engine is cold, or when it’s fully warmed up. Rattles may happen only upon acceleration, deceleration, going over bumps, rounding a corner, or during some other specific set of circumstances.
Why does my Subaru make a rattle when I start the car?
Johnznot reports that his Subaru dealer told him that the “…rattle upon startup was normal (due to the boxer engine design), and that no harm is being done. It is low oil pressure caused by the car sitting for an extended period (8 hours or so). The noise is caused by the timing chain and tensioner.”
Why does my Subaru make a ticking noise?
This angle may cause excess stress on the components over the life the engine. To keep your Subaru in great shape, it is important to maintain a strict maintenance schedule to halt developing problems before the issue escalates. One of the most common signs of a developing issue is an acute ticking noise coming from the engine compartment.
Is the noise from the Subaru engine harmful?
The noise is not harmful to the engine or exhaust system. It’s important to note that during normal driving this mapping is ignored. We think given Subaru’s explanation, Johnznot having had a dealer start three random new Outbacks on the lot, and our experience with this type of sound, it is fair to say “They all do that.”
What does the new Subaru Outback engine sound like?
Next, I wondered if the new Outback had switched to direct fuel injection. Direct injection is noisy and can sound like anything from a loud static hiss to a close approximation of the sound a diesel engine makes. Nope. No direct injection yet in the Subie 2.5i.
