hello all, im new to subarus and just bought a 2001 Uk300 for the missus and to be used as a family car, couldnt get along with 2 kids and a wife plus baggage in my 147 GTA.

Anyway, i have a few issues

1.there is a ticking on acceleration that goes only when you release the accelerate pedal, been reading and this could be the boost solenoid or even the exhaust?

2.wheel bearing noise coming from the front, but all wheels are solid with no play, ive noticed theres a 5mm shim on as its had the STI brakes fitted, looks like they are fitted to clear the caliper (has 18" uk300 alloys) could this be making the nois as theyre not hubcentric ones....

3.the exhaust sits really low and seams messy, this will be sorted in the next few weeks when the new turbo back is fitted (easy fix)

4.i have no uk300 plaque on the interior and wondered if this is normal and if im able to get a replacement?

5.the brake pedal has lots of movement before it does any stopping, what could cause this bearing in mind its had the STI fronts fitted...

6.the belt pulley at the front of engine is pretty noisy, is there a fix for this? aux belt pulley iirc.

sorry for the long post, just wanted some expierienced subaru owners opinions on the above issues!

many thanks and look forward to the replys

 

Pics would be nice
