Twizy Belt-Handover Problem

My 2015 Renault Twizy (electric) with 141543 km has a belt-handover mechanism that's stopped working. I suspect the belt bringer/handover is defective. Has anyone else seen this?

I had a similar issue with my old Fiat; the belt tensioner went bad. Does your Twizy's engine performance suffer, or do you hear a belt squeal?

No belt squeal or drop in engine performance, just the belt-handover not working. Was that also the case with your Fiat?

Exactly the same. Started with just the belt handover failing and got steadily worse. I'd recommend a workshop visit before it gets any worse; could be expensive.

Thanks for confirming. I took your advice and visited the workshop. Turns out it was the belt tensioner, just as we suspected. The repair set me back 455€.
