Understanding the Renault Trafic (2001 to 2014) Turbo Fault

If you own a Renault Trafic model from between 2001 and 2014, you may have come across or heard of the notorious turbo fault. Handling this issue requires a deep dive into the symptoms, causes, and repair processes associated with this common problem.

Common Symptoms and Causes of Turbo Faults

The turbocharger is integral to your Renault Trafic's performance, boosting engine power by compressing air into the engine. When it fails, you might notice several warning signs, such as reduced engine power, excessive exhaust smoke, a louder than normal engine, especially during acceleration, and sometimes an alarming siren noise coming from the turbo. So, what causes these symptoms? Generally, turbo issues in the Renault Trafic can be linked back to a few key causes:

1. Oil Starvation: Inadequate lubrication can lead the turbochargers to overheat, leading to significant wear and tear.

2. Foreign Objects Damage: Sometimes small particles or debris can enter the turbo through the air intake or oil supply lines, causing damage to the turbo’s internal components.

3. Component Failure: Over time, components of the turbocharger, such as the seals and bearings, may wear out and fail, necessitating replacements or repairs.

Repair Process for the Turbo Fault

Addressing a turbo fault in your Renault Trafic isn’t a straightforward task. It often involves a detailed inspection to determine the extent of the damage. This can lead to either repairing certain components or, in many instances, replacing the entire turbocharger. Given the complexity of modern turbochargers, this process can be costly, not to mention the potential downtime for your vehicle during repairs.

Can I sell my van with no V5 Logbook?

Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
