Hello all,
Ok so, on Wednesday I picked up a 1997 V3 STI. It is an imported Type R(2Door) with the DCCD gearbox.

Problem. The car is making a deep wine sound whilst driving normally at around 3-4500 revs! this happens on half throttle and as you ease of the throttle is goes quieter until the revs are down around the 3k mark then stops(if you come straight of the throttle it stops straight away) It doesn't happen on full throttle when accelerating hard. Only when crusing around 60MPH.
Sorry to join the Forum and ask a question, but a bit worried!
Has anybody had this befor cos to me it sounds like a diff problem, I was told that they can make a noise when locked and driving the car slow but it's open(first green light) and it's while driving in a straight line!!

Cool Forum as well though. I intend wasting many working hours on here.

Owen.

Unfortunately i don't think any internet diagnosis will help you.
It could be the gearbox or the diffs or it could be nothing but i think your best bet would be to take it to a good Subaru specialist to see what they say

CEL can be checked manually if required Scoobypedia | Trusted knowledge for everything Subaru | Knowledge / Reading ECU Fault Codes just in case it ever comes on and your not near a garage
