cooltide Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Got a couple of problems: whirring noise from rear increasing with speed, diff oil is good, wonder if the centre prop bearing / support could be the culprit leaning out / hesitant under medium throttle. Suspected a worn throttle position sensor then it self healed 🤔 came back today and worse. Not really responding properly in medium / heavy throttle below 3200rpm. the car has covered 77k with a good history file. I bought it in December. given the mileage, I’m wondering if there are known common issues to point me in the right direction     1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siluro Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Whirring noise in rear more likely wheel bearing given age and mileage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooltide Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Doesn’t increase with corner loading. Near side rear one got done on warranty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s starting to develop into nsr under load. Think you’re right. Failed bearing / installation . Main dealer fitted too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siluro Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 That's where you went wrong main dealer. They are useless in my experience. I good indie that know Scoobies would do you better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siluro Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Rough running. If it was my Hawkeye I would check MAF sensor and plugs. Not sure about forester 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
