A very underrated van. Perfect for the work I do
I did not know what to expect when I bought the used 2006 6sp man Diesel van especially as some people almost scared me away from buying it. However I took the plunge and although there were some minor things which I gradually got fixed up. I installed a reversing camera and a new radio with bluetooth for my iphone. After all this is done the only major thing is the fuel gauge. I was told that the fuel send unit is faulty, however we can live with this problem by filling up at about every 700km's. I am very very happy with the feel, the power and the diesel economy of this powerhouse of a van. I will definitely consider buying another one if the need ever arises.

Excellent
Very reliable Van. Exactly what I need for my trade. Better than I expected. I'll buy another one. It was supposed to be marketed in Australia as a Holden Vivaro.
Beautiful french flamboyant design so far the prettiest van around but made in England (by GMC Vauhall) for mechanical reliability so you get the best of both worlds. Best value for money. Cost of regular servicing is low compared with the competitors.
None. My van is a 2006 with a bit more than 70.000 kms. So far no problems whatsoever. But becouse it handles like a sedan you should never forget that still it is a TRUCK. So take it easy on the roads otherwise it will put a lot of stress on mechanical components and then the repair bills will come.

I have a problem with gears, holding in 2nd or 4th and after stay in 2nd with message gearbox fault. I was going back to dealer and they would " upgrade the software " and will work 3-4 months and again and again. What else I can do?

I bought a new trafic LWB twin turbo. It's fast and comfortable but that's where it ends. It has 17000km(lesss than 1 year) on it and has had a new clutch, new gear lever cables, new harmonic balancer, oil sprayed all over the alternator, eco button stop working and struggling to select reverse after the clutch replacement - 5 weeks off the road. First time I drove it at about 80km after they "fixed" it At Brian Hilton Gosford it failed again. I had to get towed and had a nice $200 cab ride home for my staff with $500 in overtime payments. New engine and another 9 weeks in the shop. As soon as I got it back I drove to work 4 times and I had smoke pouring out the bonnet. Engine had to come out again to fix the leaking turbo hose 4 weeks of the road again. The dealer is Brian Hilton Gosford and they don't give a stuff. I have had to purchased a new van to not go bankrupt as I cannot trust this van to take me to work.
We are going to court now. And its not just me, there is another Renault Trafic owner also taking them to court for a refund. And by luck we found the same lawyer, same van same dealer.... If you have a similar story with Brian Hilton/renault over a Renault let me know at [email protected] there is power in numbers. I wonder how many we have to find for a class action lawsuit?

I got the fuel sending unit fixed. We removed the fuel tank off and removed the fuel sending unit. It turned out to be just a single broken wire.
