September 24, 20205 yr 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!
November 21, 20205 yr 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
May 12, 20232 yr 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.
May 15, 20232 yr CVT fault, that what the screech is (CVT belt screeching) CVT transmission are garbage in the long term ...
