Is anyone able to help me with a little problem that I am having with my Scooby!?

One of the lower Intercooler pipes 'popped' off not long ago, and has since been refitted. I am now experiencing an uneven acceleration feel when accelerating mildly low down the rev range. There is no discernable problem when accelerating hard(!) or higher up the rev range (c. 3k plus).

Both my Subaru dealer and Graham Goode Racing have had a look at my car for me, and have been unable to easily sort/source the problem - my Subaru dealer even said that everything was perfect and that it is one of the fastest Scoobies they'd driven!?!

There is no fluctuation in Boost pressure when accelerating (Goode), but the problem is still there!

Does anyone have any thoughts? Any help would be much appreciated, as it may become a little tiresome to drive the car hard everywhere!!

Thanks . . .

 

I had a similar problem, but I was also experiancing the check engine light coming on occasionally (twice in 3 months), but the acceleration just before and just after the turbo kicked in (2000-3000rpm) was very lumpy.

It turned out to be a faulty oxygen sensor, which has been changed and seems to have solved both problems.

Next time you take it into the dealer get them to check this.

Many thanx for your suggestion Greeny

It's due for a service within the next week or so, and I'll mention it.

I don't know if it is similar, but GGR did say that they'd cleaned the Airflow meter/pipes, but to no avail - I'll suggest it anyway!
