Sparkymll Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Is there any other outback owners who have been having problems with the diesel engine? My outback was making a very loud knocking noise on start up after about 30k miles. I was told it is just the noise it makes. I am now on 80k with the same noise and have been told I need new injectors at a cost of £4000. Although reported well within warranty Subaru have washed their hands of the problem. My advise is don't buy a diesel Subaru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Hi mate welcome to S.O.C Is there anyway you could record it making the noise and upload it on to youtube ? It could be just one of the standard knocks they do seem to carry from what I have heard from other outback owners or a bit of piston slap. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkymll Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 I pick it up from the garage tomorrow so will record noise and post it. The knock sounds like a big end in a conventional engine. Would be glad of any thoughts Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkymll Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Not had chance to record noise as yet. By the way I have a 1988 mv1800 for sale. In reasonable condition. If anybody is interested I can send them pictures and more detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
