sorry mate dosnt sound good by your description on the other thread i would advise getting it checked before things get worse at the moment it could be a relatively cheap repair compared to a rebuild
i carried on using mine and ended up with a knackard crank and rods, by your description it sounds like mine did have you recently had to rplace the maf sensor?

I replied to your original post. Also look here for a sound file of piston slap, if the link still works

Hmm,when my engine i scold, it sounds like its knocking, but i have listened and it sounds more like the exhaust tone rather than the engine as such, oil pressure is high and the engine sounds sweet when warm,no rattles or anything, when its cold, its fine for a few minutes it when i reverse out and leave it idling while i shut the gate i can hear it.
the exhaust tones on these can be misleading sometimes.....

I don't mean to get of the point but can someone tell me what piston slap is?
Man I know how you feel, knocking from the engine SUCKS! Any knocking sucks for that matter, and I’d know I own a Peugeot! You cant drive the car and enjoy it at all.
Can you not maybe take the car to a scoob garage? I know it would cost and I'm sure you'd rather get it sorted here but as people have said it may save you £1000.
If I were you Id bit the bullet and get a professional to look at.

i took these videos tonight... its the clapping, knocking sound that worries me. i know and recognise the dnoises from the boost solenoid and belts etc, but its this other noise that worries me so much. and its there warm or cold...
dunno if they will sound any good, and ignore the flashing one lol was my phone being homophobic.

well i tried to go to bed, and 2 hours later im awake. im just panicking about my car. any ideas whats the earliest i could call jase at scoobybits. i just want him to have a quick wander and see if he can diagnose anything.
im not sure if the videos uploaded onto youtube are working either, seems nothing is going right at the moment.
is this an omen that im just not allowed by god to drive a subaru.

....buy a banger and rebuild the subaru engine yourself. not being funny but I have done a couple of VW engines, maybe worth a shot. if the rest of the car is fine it might be worth looking on here for an engine...

I may have some spare parts free or swap with drawing(you do the drawings I think)
depends whats wrong and age/spec of your car.
