Engine Knocking Subaru Legacy B4 RSK S-Edition 2003
 

Hey Guys,

Im Pretty new to this forum so forgive me if I am breaking any rules, I own a 2003 Subaru Legacy B4 RSK S edition ( which is mostly stock to my knowledge ) which has recently come into a bit of trouble.
While driving back from the beach one night I noticed that my engine has began to make a knocking sound and I am now fairly scared to drive it as I dont want the whole thing to seize if it ends up being a bottom end failure. I have owned the car for little over a week so this is slightly frustrating. Anyone have any useful tips or information as to why the car may be doing this?

All help is greatly appreaciated :)

Cheers,
Casey

Could well be bottom end bearing failure.
Get a vid up so we can hear the noise.
I would be tempted to drain the oil through a fine cloth/muslin and see if there are any bits of metal in there.
