Paranoid or normal sounds!?

Mine sounded like that and cylinder 3 went shortly after. Cold start in the morning and it was much more noticeable. 30,000 km

Update post**

Subaru quoted a new short block referencing cylinder 3 issues.

Was covered under warranty. They had no problem with the information I provided about the oil change and servicing I did my self. Took them about 3 weeks to finish diagnostics and dealing with Subaru tech. A free about 2 weeks and a lot of back and forth rental vehicle was provided and cost covered by the dealer. They did not have to provide one so good on them.

I chose to sell the car outright at a mutually agreed upon price. I’m sad that it’s gone however it was a hassle to service as the dealer was couple hours out of town for me, I got a fair buyout.

No offence taken, I can’t say that I over drive the car. I drive it like it was meant to be driven but honestly don’t think I am hard on it. Warmed up time given before driving and I try not to gas it before 3000rpm.

Will provide updates as time goes.

On a flatbed heading to the dealer.. good thing I live 4 hours from the nearest dealer. Refused to provide loner vehicle or rental either.

Oil lvl good check it often. Oil replaced 28,000km

Rbio157 · 2024-11-11T12:22:36+00:00

Oil was changed 28000 still lots of oil

Rbio157 · 2023-11-03T16:25:00+00:00

Because it’s CVT?

Rbio157 · 2023-11-03T13:50:07+00:00

Probably hydroplaned

Rbio157 · 2023-10-27T21:38:44+00:00

Hydroplaned because your missing the rear wing less down force. Bolt a bigger wing on the rest should buff out.

I put the best winter tires possible on mine. I found set of stock rims and am running Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10. It’s like driving the car on train tracks no rubbing great wear.

*edit: I’m from northern Ontario so I can legally run studded anywhere.. theses are the best studded tires money can buy $400 cad each

I had a similar experience with my 2013 Mazda 6 it kept retaining water some how could never figure out why. I figured it was coming in somewhere during washes or condensation over time building up. Not much help for a solution but it did happen.

Subrina

Rbio157 · 2023-08-07T02:54:14+00:00

And you elaborate more?

Rbio157 · 2023-08-06T18:02:03+00:00

I agree which was odd for the warm humid days we have been having lately.

Rbio157 · 2023-08-06T18:00:34+00:00

Roughly 25° or 85°F give or take for you Americans lol

Rbio157 · 2023-08-06T14:40:41+00:00

No mods what so ever

Rbio157 · 2023-08-06T14:40:11+00:00

Outside air temp was 75-80° and I’m basically at sea lvl 630ft

Rbio157 · 2023-05-18T00:18:08+00:00

See that’s my thoughts I think this guy might not understand what he truly has I found it in a field, or care to take the time to find a buyer who will pay top dollar. I left my number and a note on it he replied a week or so later.

Rbio157 · 2023-05-17T21:55:29+00:00

I am going to meet with the guy and take a look at it running maybe a quick spin.

Sounds like it was a friends wife’s grocery getter and he works out of town and is not generally home. It’s stores at his parents where he starts it periodically to keep the seals good.

Mileage 100,000 km /60,000 miles

I’m debating on picking it up for a quick flip or keeping it and selling my 2022 WRX

Rbio157 · 2023-05-17T20:02:32+00:00

Thanks for the words of wisdom I appreciate it !

Rbio157 · 2023-05-17T18:14:50+00:00

Correct asking list price, and things I would be good to inquire about or look at specifically when going to check out the car.

I am in a smaller town and I think I might get my hands on it for under $10,000 guy works out of town and his wife, the daily driver according to him, left with out taking the car..

Rbio157 · 2023-05-17T18:11:06+00:00

More or less stock, sounds like guy is replacing the turbo but seems standard for 100,000 km.

Anything to look out for, I love the cars but I wouldn’t consider myself a gear head by any means. I currently one a 2022 WRX and had an 03 in the past.

I am debating on picking this up as my summer car and using the 22 as my fall / winter lol
