Hi guys, I have just registered as I have a problem that I can't seem to find an explanation to.
I own a few franchises at a large national carrier (single van franchises as opposed to depot franchises). I currently use some LT35's which do the job excellently and are far more reliable than the Mercedes Sprinters I used to use and the customer service is excellent as well.
I was in the proces of ordering a 6 month old Crafter when the company I hold the franchises at told me that a Crafter was unsuitable for the job due to "known" reliability problems - namely cutting out.
I have never heard of any major problems with VW vans and can't find a thing on this from googling, and I mean I can't find a bad review anywhere. The injector problems I had with Sprinter vans however were fairly well known.
I haven't had a chance to speak to the transport director yet (who has "spoken" to his contacts to get this info) or spoken to the dealership yet.
So has anyone heard of Crafter vans cutting out? Or any experience of any problems with the crafter?
Thanks for any insight.
