Renault Trafic 1.9 SWB 2006

Not strictly a Renault because it has a Nissan badge. It now has 180,000 miles on the clock from new April 2006 and it is running smoother than ever. Just a great, great vehicle. It had a new clutch at 145,000 and probably needs an Ambient Air Sensor replacing too, but nothing to be worried about. I’m going to buy another, but LWB on the understanding that they are all built by Renault. However reading the reviews am I sensible to move from the Nissan brand when I understand they are the same vehicle anyway badged by different Manufacturers?

I have had nothing but problems with my Trafic. I think we should all get watchdog on our side and make a stand, it has to stop.

Renault Trafic CREWCAB LL29dci+qs6 2006

Bought it on looks and practicality nearly 2 yrs ago with 100k on clock. Looked after and serviced, done 17k since. Went from Hull to Nurburgring and back towing a lotus on a tankful! Auto box a letdown - rolls back on hills, as it is a manual box with auto changer! Been warned, and waiting for the `box or steering pump to go, and now have oil pi**ing out from under van, so no doubt I will find out which one it is tomorrow! - Watch this space!

Renault Trafic 1.9 2006

Acquired van from new at sunwin Renault, recalled in first yr for handbrake prob, serviced at each specified service period, received the Renault health check each time the van went in to them. Last year creaking from front lower arm ball joint, replaced under manufacturers warranty. December last yr had service and mot. This month, van back in and needs lower arm ball joints, track rod ends, anti-roll bar atc, £900.00 worth of work req’d. Have so called lifetime warranty with Renault, guess what...don’t want to do it under warranty! Make me wonder what they’ve been doing with it past 4 yrs..it’s a joke.

Renault Trafic 2006

The van has a very good driving position and height. Good level of equipment, however, the electrics have been bothersome and power levels are only good if driving on turbo, which then drinks fuel. Would I get another one? No. Get a Mercedes Vito instead.

Renault Trafic 2006

Bought brand new 3.5 years ago. Had to go back the day after I first picked it up. To date its been in 14 times, its had; 3x new clutches, flywheel, new gearbox ordered*, new steering column, 2x ball joints, wishbone(or similar), resprayed, fuel sensor, airbag light stuck on *not fitted due to legal proceedings. It’s now being handled by my solicitor. I have had an independent report done and it needs £8,500 spending, it’s only worth £4-5. My local main Renault dealership have been a joke. I’m going back to a faithful Toyota Hiace! Don’t be fooled by its looks, thats all they have, believe me!

Renault Trafic 2.5dci 6 speed qs 2006

I’ve had this van from new, and done 48000 miles trouble free.It’s now out of warranty and the electrical warning light has come on, I can’t select Auto mode and the snow mode button won’t work . Has anyone any idea what is wrong? Renault want 90 quid to look at it, but I suspect they should know what is up and are having me over. The van drives ok using Quick shift mode But I’m worried things will get worse. Anyone had similar problems?

Renault Trafic quickshift 2006

Good to drive, more like a good car, nice to look at, if you have to drive a van then this is the one. First year: Quick shift packed up and it took 4 weeks to find out why under warranty. First MOT: New back dics required at 30000 miles. At 3 years and 3 months old having done 38000 miles I was faced with a £1200 bill for EGR valve, wiring loom repair & replacement injection computor all at once! Asked was it the injection pump but they did not like to say as they all go at 36000 approx! I ran Astra vans for 20 years without any problems, this new bigger van that I did need has disappointed me from a reliability point of view. The sad thing is that I do enjoy getting into the van when it is working.

Renault Trafic 2006

I have eight Renault vans, 6 Trafic’s and two Master’s - had Ford and Vauxhall vans too - but Renault by far the best. The Vauxhall’s spent more time in the garage than working. Ford had a fuel problem - took 10 weeks to fix. No major problems with Renault’s, our vehicles do 80,000 miles per year. Master vans side doors are rubbish though - don’t close properly after the 1st week.

Renault Trafic 2006

DON’T buy this muck. It was the worst van I have bought. I had one which we got and had extra seats and a pull down ramp fitted and parts for a wheel chair to clip into this. It was bought brand new and on arriving at my home the electrics were faulty 3 months later. Renault tried again and again to fix; then the roof started to leak and the power steering went, then the gear box went - all before the car was a year old! What a pile of tin.

Renault Trafic Flama 6 2006

I’m from Guernsey, but now live in France. In Dec 06 bought brand new Trafic with 2 year warranty in France. Just 3 days after end of warranty hydraulic pump & cylinders failed. Renault France repaired all for free. On 28/12/08 whilst in Guernsey master & slave cylinders failed for clutch hydraulics. £1350 to repair. Renault UK tell me it’s an occurring fault with the Master range, seems also to be with the Trafic’s, having browsed the web. Renault have offered to pay 50% of cost. This morning had meeting with advocate to pursue through courts as Renault France failed to answer just one question; is it possible that they have inadvertently used parts from their supplier that may have been substandard? I have had many more problems too numerous to mention on this site plus 2 recalls one only just before Christmas; the last regarding a possible brake defect.
