Just had a service and after driving a mile down the road i realised something was up, it hesitates badly under acceleration and when idling the car actually rock sideways, and now the engine warning light is on?
any ideas on what they done wrong so i can take it back tomorrow morning
Normal garage first time in 12 years of owning a jap car I haven't taken it to a specialist to be honest I thought oil change check discs and pads why take it to a specialist but lesson learnt
I had to wait 35 mins just for the bill to be done right on closing time but your right I should if gone straight back then there is no doubt it was them

And for that very reason I choose not to let a garage near my car
Maybe give them a call first thing in the morning and give them the chance to sort it.
When u change oil in a Subaru you gotta take off crank sensor and turn it over till oil gets circulated and oil pressure up . Hear so many people complaining they got a ****ed engine after a oil change.
If there was nothing wrong with it before it went in, don't let them charge you for anything. It's something they've done, the co-incidence of something failing right at that time is far too remote!
The filter is filled prior to changing on nearly every car.
The crank sensor disconnect is rubbish!
Ask any of the engine builders on here
We advise disconnection of the crank or cam angle sensor when spinning up after an oil filter change. The engine will not resist repeated start up without a primed system. It takes a while to cause harm, but it does do harm.
Your choice - I only advise.
All other proper Subaru specialists will tell you the same..............
In that case David I wish you would all agree.
I've a couple of threads here on the same subject , and 2 say its not worth doing?
Was only quoting what I've been told on this very site
i alaways do what davids says, i have an oil pressure gauge and on an old impreza i changed the oild and started the engine straight away and it took a couple of seconds for the pressure to build up.
