Bobster Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Hi Folks! My 2010 Manual Outback has developed am issue, looking for any ideas.... Under heavy acceleration, for example in 3rd gear, going to overtake a slower vehicle, foot to the floor, it goes immediately, but then loses power for a split second, then a bang from the rear, the full power and off we go! Also, anyone recommend a Subaru specialist in Central Scotland area? Described it to a mechanic "Thats a job for Subaru!" Thanks for reading guys!

suty455 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Petrol or Diesel? Petrol ignition breaking down or dirty fuel filter the bang will be a backfire not good for the exhaust or cats etc Diesel 100% blocked filter of water in the filter cuts off the fuel flow sounds like a petrol at rev limiter Either way sort it or it will cost much much more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reandsa Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Hi Bobster, did you find out what was going on with your car? I also have a 2010 Outback petrol/LPG auto which has just started doing almost exactly what you described in your post. The only difference I get is the "bang" you mentioned sounds more like a screech (mechanical or skidding tyre) for a fraction of a second, then acceleration. Engine doesn't falter at all during this. I was thinking possible ABS or electric handbrake fault. I'd love to know if you got anywhere with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 CVT fault, that what the screech is (CVT belt screeching) CVT transmission are garbage in the long term ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
