Help with Import Purchase Advice!
Hi,
Just test drove a 1995 Subaru Impreza import and all seemed fine apart from a strange noise coming from the turbo every now and then. The dealer said this was 'normal' and was just the turbo kicking in. Have put down a deposit but am now wondering if I am just being stupid and this noise is something more serious. Am new to Subaru and would really value any advice from people in the know.
Cheers
Barry

Hi and welcome to SN
Can you describe the noise (yes, easy for me to say)
But a whistle, whine, rattle, knock, etc or what, does it increase with the engine speed.
Also have you driven any other scoobs, if so do they make the same/similar noise. If not test drive another couple for comparison.

Cheers for replying,
The sound was a kind of whoosh of air being released. A poor description I know! No rattles or anything like that. Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Going to get car in next few days. Am reassured by your comments on the turbo noise. Any thoughts on any intelligent questions I should be asking before I part with me hard earned cash?
