Scoobywagon Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 So I was driving home last night when my trusty Legacy wagon had itself a heart attack. Lost power and it started acting like I was bouncing it off the rev limiter. Pressed in the clutch and let off the throttle and it stalled. NEVER done that before. Put it back in gear and eased off the clutch to bump start it and it just did NOT want to start, though it eventually did after REALLY slowing the car down a lot. That's when I heard this rattley/clanky noise coming from under the hood. No idea what it is. Had no time to dig into it this morning. Car has 245 kilo-miles on it. Any thoughts? If someone can come up with a likely thing to check, I'll do that before I just swap the motor out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 T belt still around? if not, throw another one on to get where you need to be then put new idlers and tensioners on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobywagon Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 As I said, I've had not time to look into it at all. I assume the t-belt is there because it will start and run. Just makes that horrible noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
