2001 Renault Trafic review from UK and Ireland
"Just a load of unreliable crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Various creeks and groans from the cheap interior.
Cam and crank sensors failed.
Diesel pump seized.
Constant brake squeal with no apparent solution.
Useless Renault dealerships.
General comments?
This was bought for me by my Dad as a present when my Leyland Daf van finally went to the motorway in the sky. Thought that a nice modern van would be a relief, and a nice change from my antique DAF! But I was soon begging for my Daf to be resurrected as it was a much better van.
This Trafic is poorly built cheap tat and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Totally unreliable and in the garage more often than on the road. My Daf may have been simple, but at least it worked and I knew I would get in it every morning and know it would start!
Do NOT get a Trafic, and be careful because for some bizarre reason, Vauxhall and Nissan vans are Renault Trafics in disguise! Avoid all these models!
