New STI problems - oscillation and metallic noise
#1
Hi everyone!
Just got a brand new STI and, while in general it is great, I have noticed a few odd things.
There is a nasty metallic sound that I can hear at low speed (could be happening at higher speed too, but the background noise drowns it out) when I accelerate. It is especially bad if I lift off the throttle around 4000rpm.
There is also a juddering around 4000rpm during constant driving. I especially noticed it on German autobahns while cruising between 100 and 120mph (no really!). When I accelerate, everything runs smoothly again.
There doesn't seem to be any loss of power, but I haven't really got anything to compare it against. Full throttle is great fun.
My girlfriend took it into the dealer and they claim that this is normal for an STI, which I find difficult to believe. Can anyone provide me with a few clues to beat them around the head with?
Ta much in advance,
Rich
