buy a transit won't go far rong i have just had one fab motor. i was thinking off having vivaro but was told not to so many problems with them. dave

[LWC]

I love my vivaro, best vehicle ive owned, prefer it to my car!

People say about problems but i think its a load of rubbish, any car/van can have a problem, just find one that been looked after.

[JSMC]

[luther1]

[dave.e]

sorry guys did not meen to upset any one i love the vivaro's but with my luck i was going to be one off the unlucky one's to have problems so thats why i went for the tranny.

The gearbox has just gone on my neighbours vivario - seems to happen quite often.

Have a look at Ability posting 'Vivaro' in the carpet cleaning section!!!

I have a trafic same van underneath; its great and has never gone wrong. but i prefere to bigger master for the extra payload (1000L) tank and the extra room for other equipment like the gutter vac and jet washer.

They do seem more prone to this fault than most vehicles - even at relatively low mileage.

Freind of mine has a Trafic he did 200 miles and the ECU went badly wrong causing it to be off the road for 2 weeks,obviously this isn`t common but i have heard of other people having lots of trouble with them including gear boxes clutches etc.I know all these things can go wrong with any van but they seem to be happening more often with either Vivaro-Trafic-Primastar.

[R W C]

Ask BT or AA what they prefer, I got a Trafic and when i go tgo the shop i always jump in the van, its just like driving a car, yes my clutch went costing £600 but this was at 82,000 miles.

I clean a AA mans house they use the vivaro/trafic  for their call outs he told me it was the earlier vivaro vans that had problems, mine is a 56 vivaro with 62 on the clock and no problems at all ...like a previous poster says it drives like a car.

ps the AA man told me to steer well clear of V/W transporters...Povey

i have a movano 53 plate and will be takeing it to the scrap yard soon,nothing but trouble and needs at least 2 grands worth of repairs, high pressure fuel pumps can fail at any time on these vans and this shoots metal fragments into the jets etc, its a very common fault on vivaro/movano/master/traffic vans.

i will never touch one ever again.    GET a transit

[abbots]

I have had my heart set on a transporter for a while now, mate of mine has nothing but praise for them but Trevors AA man has just put a seed of doubt in my mind, any one else had problems with their transporters.

Strange that, I had a flatty the other week and called AA out, I was talking to him about the transporter and he told me the same, He said the Turbo was very prone to blowing especially when heavy load.

[Nathanael Jones]

The Vivaro's drive like  a car, really comfy, easy to drive,.. but I also had trouble with one.

Personally I'm torn between a new Boxer or Transit,...

[HIGH LEVEL WINDOW CLEANERS (scrimmy)]

dont touch the vivaro nathan, you are buying trouble, my mate just got rid of his after spending thousands repairing the gearbox and the fuel system...he was ripped off and has had enough of the vivaro problems so he traded it in for a transit. :

[Pittmonkey]

I'll ask the AA man when he arrives my Dispatch is sat out side and doesn't want to know

Already spent £1400 this year on repairs.
