Oatmeal123 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hello all, I purchased myself a 2006 Subaru Forester XT. It is absolutely beautiful. 111,000 miles on it (for £3200, I'm happy). 😁 Today whilst I was driving it back from town, I pulled off the roundabout, chucked it in 2nd and put my foot to the floor. It hit 3000revs and then I felt the turbo kick in hard, then it sort of briefly stopped giving me power, for like <0.5 a second. This was immediately followed by a sudden lunch of all the power at once and it quickly got up to redline and that was that. 😨 The trade seller had told me the throttle body was recently replaced and I am wondering whether this could be at fault? This is my first turbo car, so unsure where to begin diagnosing. The only last tidbit of info I can give is that if you rev it hard, there is a smell of petrol that gets into the cabin. Does anyone have some suggestions? 😟 thank you :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 How full was the fuel tank when you experienced this ? Could be a fuel cut from the tank being fairly empty and struggling to pick up, Or it could be boost related, have you run any diagnostics ?
