I took my P1 into my local dealer ,he said that i have piston slap,it has only covered 7,000 miles.I rang up subaru uk and they have had a few P1's that have had to have new pistons.Has any body else hered of this.I thought it was only 98 uk turbos that had this problem.

 

Marty,

Listen to this to see what piston slap sounds like.

 

There may be a number of P1s needing new pistons, but the cause ain't piston slap

My Jap spec P1 has not suffered from piston slap and I am not aware of others that have either

No the problem is world wide

 

Wasnt it common on MY98's?

Just a guess?
