3 Engine Problems You Should Always Fix at Your Subaru Dealership
Failed Starter
A sad click-clink noise is the sound of a starter not receiving enough power to crank your engine. If you hear nothing when you press the start button on your dash, this is a more serious problem, as it means your starter isn’t working. If the starter doesn’t work, your engine can’t crank, and your Subaru won’t move.
We’ll need to examine your starter to determine the reason it failed. Sometimes, the problem can be easily and quickly repaired, for example, if the starter solenoid has burnt out The solenoid receives the electrical charge from your battery, which is then used to power the starter. A broken solenoid can be replaced, and the starter will work again. If the starter has failed, we’ll replace it for you.
Transmission Leak
The transmission uses a series of gears to direct energy produced by the engine into a usable form to move the wheels. Transmission fluid plays a vital role in transmission health as it provides friction resistance for numerous components, helps to reduce the temperature in the transmission, and provides hydraulic power to move the gears.
A leaking transmission is in serious trouble. As transmission fluid is lost, transmission components will get hotter as they lose the cooling effect of the fluid. Many of the components will grind against each other and suffer friction damage. In addition, the lack of fluid will make gear shifting noisier and slower. If you spot red liquid underneath your car, the transmission is leaking. We’ll trace the source of the leak and permanently seal it.
Damaged Alternator
The alternator’s functions are to supply electricity for all your Subaru systems and maintain the battery at full charge. A healthy alternator can effortlessly supply all your car’s needs, as it generally produces more power than you’ll need. It’s a tough and robust component, but it can still get damaged. One potential source of damage is a damaged battery.
The alternator charges the battery at full power for ten minutes, then reduces the current to charge at 10% until the battery is recharged. Reduced charging is initiated when the battery signals to the alternator that it received the initial charge. If the battery is damaged, it won’t send the signal. The alternator will continue to charge the battery until it wears out. We’ll resolve this by replacing the worn battery, then checking the alternator and replacing it if necessary.
