I don't think so. Boxer engine not much vibration compare to others. Probably CVT transmission chain?

Is the CVT transmission chain sound common in XV and For? I still have one unexplained sound like metal when accelerating...

this is an except from Edmunds Expert Review:

The off-road-ready 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek is worth a look if you're seeking versatility in a small package, but rivals offer more in the way of refinement and on-road performance.
Pros
Standard all-wheel drive
Relatively strong off-road capabilities
Spacious seating
Good fuel economy
Generous standard features.

Cons
Lackluster acceleration
CVT produces tiresome engine noise
Substandard sound systems
Hybrid model doesn't justify added cost.

I think due to poorer insulation on XV compare to Forester. Or maybe my ear is not sensitive due to exposure to heavy metal laugh.gif The Subaru CVT runs an all metal chain instead of the typical composite belt.

Yes. some people hear it at higher speed. Normally, other noises take over when you go faster laugh.gif

How was the sound that you heard? You mean going steadily at 20km/h?

If you hear strange sound even if it is subtle but it was not there in the beginning, I suggest you go and have it check at SC. It could be differential gear problem. I don't hear anything strange. Maybe my hearing is less sensitive biggrin.gif

Is the proper way to start the car by press twice the start button first, then only press the brake and push the start button once? Coz only starting that way my pioneer hu can immediately turn on.

Check manual. Pressing the button without pressing brake pedal means switch on power to car accessories without starting car. Starting car means al the battery power go to starters and delay a bit for the rest. That is why air-con is delayed to switch on like most cars especially luxury cars.

Cheap economy cars advised you to switch everything off first before starting because there is no automatic management on this smile.gif

Hi guys,

I managed to identify the chasis vibration issue. It only happen when the meter gauge reaching 2k rpm when idle and stay there for a while. The car seems to force it to goes down below 2k rpm and that is when the vibration started to happens. So as long as it stay below 2k rpm no vibration. Its on n off thing and more obvious when stuck in the jam for an hr or so. Anyone experiencing this?

that is because the air-con compressor kicked in. On and off. Can get the sc reset the amount of engien rpm setting. Maybe need other problem since it was not like that in the begining

You just switch to D and let it move without paddling or slight paddling also can hear, go parking basement you'll notice this

Dear Subarist, would like to find out which petrol brand can fetch better mileage 🤔


I'm driving a Forester 2.0iP, feeding with BHP Ron95 most of the time, with 80% city driving and 20% highway driving, with moderate driving mode, push the pedal occasionally to overtake some road hoggers and playing with paddle shifters a bit while cruising through some bends and turning.


Petrol used: BHP Ron95
Best mileage per tank: 650km (9.23l/100km)
Worst mileage per tank: 430km (13.95l/100km)


Mind to share your stats? 🙃

I doubt that petrol brands make differences since they are rated 95, 97, 100 based on established standard.

Around 9-10L/100km is consider norm for forester 2.0i-P since driving 80% in city. My best record is around 8L/100km also 80% in city, but choose the right timing to skip traffic jam.

Tested BHP & Shell Ron95 before, actually not much difference. I think is all under your feet control..
