Subaru Newbie Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 You guys were great last time i had a problem, hopefully you can help me again, I'm getting a knocking, not sure where its from, But i can have it at an idol and rev it, and it sounds great, but when its in a gear, and i give it light gas, i get a pretty loud knocking.. Remember i don't know much so please explain in child terms lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 With all the information at hand, I would say it is the fault of greece leaving the EU causing the knocking. Now if you give us more information... Year, model, engine, transmission, mileage. Then Exactly when does this happen? Is the car hot or cold, does it go away at all with increas of engine speed. What recent work has been done to the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru Newbie Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 It's a 1985 Subaru Gl wagon, Recent work, i got instructions from a post and re-timed the belts, i doubt its the problem its been running fine for weeks, And the car is at normal temperature, oh the engine is a 1.8l i believe, And with increase of gas is dulls, but then gets louder when i back off the gas some, But stops all-together when the pedal is untouched, downshifting, or just idling.

Subaru Newbie Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 I did some testing on the way home, going about 15mph i put it in 3rd, it got higher and hollower, 4th even hollower, and 5th it sounded like a baseball card on a bike wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
