natrea Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I am new to the Subaru world. I have just bought a 95 legacy 2.5 100K miles and there is a rattling noise that doesn't go away when the engine is warm and vibrates the exhaust etc loudly at some points. 2 Mechanics immediately said it was the lifters or rockers knocking and also linked it to the ticking noise at idle speed - I thought that was just normal Subaru sound. one mechanic also said I should take it staight back to where i got it - but the dealer says my warranty will cover it. Is this a straight forward problem to fix ? Should I get an experienced Subaru mechanic to do the work or can any competant mechanic be trusted on this car? Many thanks Nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb21 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Warranty? Must be the super-extended one :-) . Is it a really tinny kinda sound? My guess would be the heat sheilds that wrap around the exhaust are coming loose. These cars seem to have a lot of sheilding and after awhile things loosen up, have you peered under the car and given a listen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
