Renault Trafic X82 (2015-2020) Questions & Answers

The gear boxes on Renault Trafics are notoriously dodgy.

Hi there, it depending on you. I dont recommend for 66kw one. I can see here some buyers had problem with it.

Cheers

No problem's on my van. Maybe keep all the windows up, restart your phone and all its Bluetooth connections, sit closer to the mic, speak louder. If no change, take it back to the dealer.

Haven't had any issues or complaints from the person on the other end. I find I have to turn the volume up a bit. I've got a Lifestyle pack with the MediaNav, I'm not sure if this would cause any difference though.

Yep rubbish Bluetooth, cannot auto connect every time, can go thru the manual connect up to 10 times while driving to get connection. Never loads the address book. Almost have to stop to hear the caller and they have same problem.No recognition of the problem from Renault dealer.
Ever wondered why there are so many medianavs for sale on eBay ?

I can't comment on the new Renault as I have the X83 but I did read an X82 progress review on the net somewhere and it stated that they were still a good thing. The other thing I noticed is there are no bad reviews about the model and I believe they have been released now since late 2015. I think with any of the new diesels they need to be serviced on time and by the dealer.

I drive the latest model Trafic long wheel base twin turbo.. I couldn't be happier...I've halved my fuel bill in the first month.. loaded with 800kg and didn't notice any struggles... the gearbox shifts easily. The only thing u will notice comparing to the VW is that the tuning circle is not as tight and the doors are not as heavy.. previous to my purchase I drove the VW for 7 months. And although I enjoyed the drivability it did have its downside of a lot of reflection in the interior so rear camera was useless at times and couldn't see the instrument panel. No such problems with the Trafic

I'm very happy, 2015 LWB, Lifestyle Pack. I bought it secondhand a few months ago. While I probably wouldn't have ordered a Lifestyle Pack new, (probably would've got a Premium), I'm glad I've got one now. Keyless start is great and I like the concealed dash compartment and the MediaNav is also good. Dashboard layout is excellent.
It's very comfortable to drive, economy is great, turning circle is a bit of an issue especially pulling into car parks, handling is good with a quiet comfortable ride.
The build is quite good but I think the quality of the dash could be improved.

Hi Ben, I bought mine without Satnav. So I dont know about Satnav issues. For Me, I prepare Using Garmin or Tom Tom if you need Navigation system.

Hope this help. :)

Ben, we have the latest traffic, we packaged as a deal, heated seats, cruise control and the sat nav.
We have had no issue with the nav. mind you there is maps and nav separate.

No issues yet.

Thanks for both of your replies. The MediaNav issues I've heard about are the phone Bluetooth dropping out and a few glitches in setting up the satnav.
I think the new Trafic is one of the better vans for price on the market bar a few issues with the trim on the dash.
I'd also be interested to know what the un-capped servicing costs are at a Renault dealer and if anyone uses a non Renault garage for services.
