I had the same problem in my subaru legacy. It ended up being a very little split in the clutch line between the master and slave cylinder. Sort of down behind the intercooler, bit of a prick of a thing to replace but it was like a rubber S bend pipe that was about 10cm long. It happened twice. If not that might of just just been a air bubble maybe??

Perhaps look at the clutch hill hold to see it interfering with clutch movement. Hopefully adjustment/lubrication can resolve issue. be wise do visual checks rather than ignore it .

Today the clutch pedal has chosen to not return all the way back after use. It stays a little bit down, seemingly without affecting the actual clutch plate. It does return fully after a very little while, can feel it under foot if resting foot on it. Sometimes coincides with pressing brake pedal, wonder if its mechanical linkage problem. Or is this a symptom of worse to come, advice welcome..

So.. 2007 Subaru legacy, take the car to have some under ramp checks done, go to start the car and all of a sudden the immobiliser alarm fob doesn’t want to work at all.. Disconnected battery, hooked up battery charger, call a Subaru specialist and he suggests to pull the radio out and look for some terminal, I’m thinking well it can’t be something new as I turned it off and the car was started and driven into the workshop.. I just think well it started outside let’s push it out just on a wim that there’s something interfering with the signal and low and behold one meter out the workshop the dog starts to work again.. now I’m not sure what type of equipment a tyre specialist can have in a workshop that can interfere with the signal or if it was because the roof was made of metal I will probably never know I’m just glad it started and was able to drive home 8 o’clock at night 😂 so just a word if nothing else works try pushing the car out of the location as even a 5 meter distance can make a difference cheers

HI All, Looking for some advice please. Recently bought a 2017 XV with 36k miles on it. I was told it was FSH, but was never given any documents. So i'm not sure if this is true or not. I bought it via Evans Halshaw, Hyundai in Gateshead. In september I decided to get it serviced by an independant subaru garage in hexham (Gilesgate autocare). Used them many times before with no issues. It was also making a bit of droning type noise that I thought might have been a wheel bearing or something and I asked for some diagnosis on this. Anyway, when they serviced/inspected it they found a number of issues and told me to go back to Evans and ask for work under warranty. I've was told that the centre propshaft bearing is worn and this is what is making the "abnormal noise". Also that there is some sort of fault with the steering system and that the "steering is abnormally heavy". It was suggested that this might be the steering rack, but needed further diagnosis. There was some other issues identified as well, corrosion to the brake pipes, exhaust flange, front suspension bushes needed replacing and the engine sump pan is damaged and needed replacement. Long story short after many back and forths I had managed to get Evans Halshaw to inspect the car, but they have come back and said that there is nothing wrong with it at all. So I'm not sure if they are fobbing me off or if the original garage is trying to rip me off. That said, I know that there is something wrong with it as there is a droning type noise when driving over 40mph and the steering does feel heavy. - When compared with the three subaru's I have had in the past. Anyway, I wanted to check if anyone knows of any subaru specialists in the North East? I'm of a view to get a third opinion re the propshaft and steering issues. Also, does anyone know if a propshaft and steering rack faults are common on these cars? Its barely done any miles at 36/37k. Thanks in advance.
