Hi all, new to Subaru and this forum.
Wanted Outback or Forester for quite a while now, finally got hold of this outback (replacing a broken Volvo v70).
Just did a large motorway stint in it and there is a feint, intermittent whining noise, seems to be only at motorway speeds and very quiet - can only hear it if the radio is completely off.
diagnosis:
only audible on motorway/at motorway speeds
I tried switching to neutral at high speed and i think it stopped
I couldn't work out the circumstances that made it appear as mostly it wasn't there (accelerating/decelarating/cruise/uphill/downhill/etc.)
its a low mileage car (48K ish) however i am yet to check the engine number matches reg.
Any ideas welcome
Thanks
Ben
