My ami after 8500 k needed a new battery pack 6100€ paid under under warranty it’s 54 kilometres return journey to work used to have 10-14 k left in range now with the new pack I have 30-35 range left brilliant
The Ami is not a complicated piece of technology. The only reason you needed a factory fix, was it was done under warranty. Its about as sophisticated as a washing machine.
Thanks for watching. I guess not if you know what u r doing but would a local garage who's never seen one be happy to have a go at this once it's on the used market? I'm not sure how many would and what they would charge for that matter? Is this something you've experience of?
@@asc24hoth You wouldn't go to a local garage for anything other than suspension and brakes. An electrical repair person would understand the electronics. Anyone familiar with battery management. Solar or or home batteries, wouid understand battery and charging problems. A large domestic appliance repair engineer would understand the other systems. There are actually EV specialist that could easily diagnose and fix an Ami The major of the actual work just involves identifying the broken module and replacing it, just like most modern vehicles.
@asc24hoth You'd plug into the OBD port and check on the state of battery, you buy an OBD and download the appropriate software. I have one plugged into my Ami right now. If you have a healthy battery ( if not someone has done something horrible), you'd check the " ignition switch" assuming it switches on, you'd check the DRN switches. You're then left with checking the power supply to the motor. If the motor is receiving power and not running, you're in very unlikely trouble. Of its not receiving power then you need to replace the motor management unit. Job done.
@ziggarillo that's actually amazingly useful and something people would love shared on the ami Facebook groups. Do u want to create a post and enlighten the masses. I certainly was left with a feeling that whilst I had a quick efficient repair, I was glad i wasn't having to foot the bill. Many, like me, will be clueless if it went wrong without warranty, it puts me off keeping it beyond the 3 year lease I'm currently on.
