Hi,
I have a manual MY01 WRX and it goes great but I have a couple of questions about 2 things it has recently started doing.
- Sometimes when I am pulling away from a standing start if I hold the clutch in a certain place I sometimes hear a whirring sound. The place I hold the clutch at to make this sound is about when the clutch place is gripping and the car is starting to move. I thought it was my clutch being worn and slipping so I took it to a Subaru dealer and one of the mechanics went for a drive with me. He pushed the car hard and after a 5 min drive said that the clutch was fine. He said that if it was slipping it would slip under boost, but it didn't. What do you guys think this is?
- Sometimes when I am driving and I let the car cruise (Take my foot off the gas) I get like a rattling noise in the engine bay. Anyone know what this maybe?
The car drives great and has been serviced regularly, the car has done 64,000 KM. I have a service due soon anyway but wanted some suggestions before I took it in.
Cheers.
