Im sorry to post this again but i am hoping someone can point out what the hell this is? Bought my car 3 weeks ago and a few days after owning it a tapping noise started only on light throttle which seemed to go away after a few minutes. I put it back to the garage i got it from and he said they couldnt find anything wrong even though they can hear the noise! Since then the noise is lasting longer ie 15-20 mins after start up! The car boosts properly and drives as it should but is this the start of something big? Has anyone ever had this problem? U dont hear a thing till u hit the throttle? Also if anyone can recommend a good subaru tech up aberdeen way would be greatly appreciated!

As above. Get them to overnight it with them, then listen to it stone cold.

sounds like the same as i had in my fiesta 1.2 zetec " which i might add,i only had for 2 days !!!" it was bottom end
but then again , a half decent mechanic should know this ??
dont want to put a hex on it , but it doesnt sound good to me ?
do you know if it has a forged engine ? they can sound "tappy " that maybe why they cannot find a fault with it ? anyway best of luck mate , hope its minor

Could be a noisy injector

Is a noisy injector something to worry about (on its way out). Or is that something that will stay like that and cause no damage?

not necessarily, Try putting some injector cleaner in your tank and see if it quietens it down. other than take it to a subaru specialist and get them to listen, for piece of mind
