problem #2

Jul 172019

Outback 2.5XT Limited 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 136,000 miles

Vent randomly opened in the engine while on a 100 mile trip. Caused a whining noise from 2k rpms upward. Also a slightly reduced performance. Fixed for free but made me think there was something seriously wrong when there wasn't.
