As a seasoned master technician with over 15 years of hands-on experience under the bonnet, I've encountered my share of issues with various van engines, including those powering the Renault Trafic. If you're currently in the market for a Renault Trafic (2014 to present) engine, it's crucial to understand the common issues associated with this specific model, the potential causes and symptoms, and the repair processes that might be involved.
The Renault Trafic, particularly models from 2014 onward, is generally reliable but isn't immune to engine troubles. Some frequent issues include problems with the turbo, EGR valve malfunctions, and occasional transmission linkage concerns which can affect the engine's performance directly or indirectly. Symptoms like loss of power, unusual engine noises, or erratic transmission behavior can be indicators that a deeper investigation by a professional is warranted.
These symptoms can arise from various sources ranging from wear and tear (a common culprit given the age of the van) to more complex electrical faults. Diagnosing the exact cause typically involves a multi-step approach including computerized diagnostics, physical engine inspections, and performance tests. From there, repairs can range from straightforward part replacements to more comprehensive overhauls, which might not only be time consuming but also quite costly.
However, before committing to a costly and time-consuming repair, have you considered an alternative route? Selling your current vehicle to Vandervan and potentially upgrading to a newer model could be a more economical and less stressful solution.

Deciding between repairing a Renault Trafic (2014 to present) engine or exploring newer options can be challenging. As an expert in the field, I can vouch for the convenience and practicality of using a service like Vandervan to smooth out the transition.
