Title: You Vivaro Boys
Post by: *frank cannon on November 06, 2008, 10:34:23 pm

any feedback on the 06 1.9dc has it plenty of poke in it with a 650 tank,2 bodies,ladders and sometimes guttervac on board?

is it true that the 56 one changed engines to a 2ltr dci with 115 bhp ?

anyone had both.. all views appreciated


cheers frank

My one (the Trafic) is 100bhp with 1.9dci.  hat seems plenty powerful enough to me - though the first 20 - 30metres can be a bit strained when loaded.  All I would say is if you get a Vivaro, make sure it's a newer one due to the gearbox problems (think it was resolved around the 55 plate but not certain).

I've got the 2.0L
It's excellent.

Half a ton onboard, accelerating up hills in 6th gear at 45-50mph.
Awesome.
Nothing fazes it.

Ive put down on a deposit on one a 56 1'9dci, its from a trader who has taken in as a private sale,so there was no vat on it.So when he sells it onto me he can,t put VAT on it...anyway thats my understanding of it and its just saved me approx £900 ;)
