Mrtharp Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 My 2006 Impreza hatchback has this loud clicking noise whenever it is at 2'500 RPM it is coming from the engine. I havent taken it to the dealership yet, I'm a poor university student haha I'm just wondering if its a common problem that anyone with Subaru experience knows about.

Legacy777 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Welcome to the USMB. I would suspect it's a collapsed hydraulic lifter. Have you checked the oil level recently? I'd start with that and if it looks really dirty or hasn't been replaced in a while, you may consider changing it and the filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoupedUpSubie Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I believe subaru got rid of the hydraulic lifters in the late 90's. Do you hear the noise while driving or just sitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtharp Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 It does it while sitting but is much louder when driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
