Peugeot iOn Belt Tensioner Failure

My 2015 Peugeot iOn, electric motor of course, is playing up. Mileage is at 104756 km. The belt-handover thingy isn't working at all. I'm pretty sure the belt tensioner is toast, likely a defective belt bringer/handover itself. Anyone else had this utter nightmare?

Summary of the thread

The problem is identified as a defective belt tensioner, possibly involving the idler pulley. The recommended solution is to replace the faulty components, which was confirmed and resolved at a workshop.

I own an iOn too, and I had similar problems some time ago. By 'belt-handover thingy' do you mean the belt drive system for the auxiliary components?

Yes, that's the one! The entire belt drive system. When you say 'similar problems', was it the belt tensioner or something else entirely? Trying to get a handle on this before I start throwing money at it.

It was indeed the belt tensioner, and more specifically the idler pulley. While it could possibly be repaired, my mechanic suggested a replacement due to the potential for further issues. I would recommend a visit to the workshop.

Cheers, appreciate the insight! Turns out you were spot on. Workshop confirmed it was a defective belt tensioner, just like you suggested. Repair cost came to 455€. All sorted now, thankfully!
