Hi new here! I've inherited my grandma's Subaru. It currently has 60,000 miles on it. I believe it's the 2.5 motor. I live in Minnesota so as you know the weather can be cold and when the vehicle sits outside in the morning it sounds like a kid sticking a baseball card in the spokes of a bicycle wheel as we were kids. As I accelerate it gets faster but after driving for 15 20 minutes it seems to go away. That right now is the only issue that is bothering me besides that it makes weird noises sometimes when I just started and put it into gear it sounds like wHaachhaaachh for a second or to and goes away. the ticking is not always there but it is normally there when I get my car and leave for work. If anybody can help me out that would be great. From what I've read it could be what people are saying is piston slap or that Tick of death.
