The sound is normal, get over it.  My Speed3 has made the same noise for 2+ years and I've had 0 issues, even running heavily modified. It doesn't do it all the time, and there's no way to reliably reproduce it.
Also, if you actually bothered to read the thread, several people (myself included) have brought the car to a dealership and have been all given the exact same answer. Guess all those different dealerships came to the same wrong conclusion though, right? |
1st, I believe several times already someone has mentioned there NOT being another boxer engine like this to compare to. So why in this case is there all of a sudden a comparable engine?
2nd, we've already hashed out that Subaru has said it's normal, but at the same time we know from history that car manufacturers don't always fess up to problems right away. Is that too hard to comprehend? Apparently it is.
As for dealerships coming to the same wrong conclusion, none of them had the answer, they received the answer from Subaru remember? All the answers(the only 1 actually), came from Subaru alone. That proves NOTHING.
And no, I don't own one yet. I am waiting for all the little bullshit to be fixed first. I can deal with speaker panels popping up, and tailight condensation..little stuff. CEL's and squeaky engines are things I want to wait for since the standard warranty is basically non-existent with the mileage I put yearly on my cars..

Rather than continuing the argument, how about you guys saying it's normal for a DI engine provide us with the names of the vehicles you've heard this same noise in? I have the Mazda 3 from the above post, skip that. I'll spend my time searching Youtube and post the videos that prove your point so everyone can finally put the issue to rest.
