Hello everyone.
Some advice, please!
I have a (much loved) 2011 Peugeot Ion.
Recently the car stopped mid-drive, and the yellow "!" car warning light appeared on the dashboard. The car restarted and we were able to drive home. But now the car won't charge, the warning light stays on, sometimes the car will drive for a few meters but then stop, sometimes it won't drive at all.
The local Peugeot garage took the car. They replaced the 12V starter battery. This did not fix the problem.
They say they have run some diagnostics and are convinced that the "electrical convertor" has failed and needs to be replaced at a cost of €6894.
I am not 100% convinced that their mechanics know anything about the Ion, or indeed any electric cars. I worry there may be a much simpler, cheaper solution that they are missing. Before I consider paying this much money, does anyone have any alternative solutions?
Thank you.
Neil, Madrid
