Yeh, Subaru is currently pulling the engine out...if your car is out of warranty and you can wait woodduck I will inform you of what the problem is, when subaru find out. (if it saves you $$$)

Yeah my car doesnt have warranty...so that would be fantastic if you could let me know! If for some reason my dealer happens to find an easy fix (of corse, if it does come back) then i will let you know too mate!

Thanks, hopefully your dealer finds a fix so I can let my dealer know. (or vice versa)

So early signs of this problem began again last nite...got very light bunny hopping and very light pinging sound (only for about 1 km), and no engine light or loss of power...so i bought it strait home and swapped for my calais...So ill take it back in on tuesday hopefully!

I did have 1 question tho....i REALLY need my car tonight- and becuase my liberty lasted 400kms before the problem came back this time, do you think it would be safe to reset my ECU, to drive it tonite? I dont need to do much driving...i figure its no different to what subaru did/may do?

Bit late for me to say drive it, but I was told to drive my car while I was waiting for the 2nd cam sensor to arrive, so I drove it for around 1 and a half weeks. So I wouldn't be scared to drive it.

Ended up taking my Calais instead as my sister didnt need the calais anymore.

So you havnt heard any news from subaru Jay E?

Not as yet (due to public holidays they wont be working) as far as I know the engine is out of the car, and I am not expecting to have the car back for a good two weeks. Once they come back to me with the problem I will let you know straight away.

I have a 2006 3.0r-b manual, i am having the exact same problems as described on here rough idol, pingin noise, stalls, loss of power, engine light and cruise light on. I have taken it in previously and they cleaned a sensor and reset the error code. I havent had the car long and its giving me the sh*ts. Any advice would be much appreciated. The car is still under warranty which is the only good thing but not for much longer.

Luke.

well iv done over 4,000ks since this happened to me and it hasnt happened again...YET so fingers crossed!

How long has it been going on for mate? And have you tried putting a different servos fuel in? Iv put mine down to a bad batch of fuel at one of the servos i mainly fill up at...

Subaru couldn't figure my problem out, after 7 attempts and 11 weeks....they put my engine in a new Lib the problem was immediatley transfered to the new car, end result was they replaced my engine under warranty.

by **Woodduck** » Sun May 24, 2009 3:24 pm

Oh well new engine isnt a bad thing lol. Not good if it happens to somebody out of warranty :shock:

by **Jay** » Sun May 24, 2009 3:29 pm

I'm just glad I don't have the problem anymore

by **Woodduck** » Sun May 24, 2009 3:35 pm

yeah..well touch wood so am I :lol:

by **Tupps** » Sun May 24, 2009 7:12 pm

yeah i have only had the car for 2 months now and it happened after about 2weeks of owning it. But yeah i only fill up at Shell and always put v-power (premium) in. Maybe its worth going for bp ultimate. Buts its going back to boxer services tomorrow. Ill let you what happens. Last time they cleared the error and said it maybe variable valve timing and will look into future if it comes back. I love the car except when things like this happen it just lets you down a tad. Its sound to me like its a fairly common thing in this model.

HELP!
