Thats sods law mate,the car seems to know when a warranty has expired.

I had same problem with 307. Well out of warranty. Took it to dealers and they said it was a recognised fault with warning switch/light and fixed it for nothing.

Hi,

I am just about to buy a 2001 peugeot which is still under warranty which has the same problem though when the owner tried to get it fixed the light fixed there didn't seem to be a problem. The light comes on occasionally so am wondering whether to extend the warranty to try and get it fixed again. Does anyone know how much it would be to get it this problem fixed ordinarily? If it's cheap enough I won't bother with the warranty.

It is a common Peugeot problem. There is a connection under the drivers
seat where the Seat Belt Pretensioner is linked in. This connection needs
re-doing. You might get away with cleaning and reconnecting it . If it goes under warranty then Pug will take care of it . If you
have a passenger airbag there will be a similar connection under the
passenger seat. :thumb:

:nono: This problem has been common from 1997 on in most Peugeot and Citroen models. Attributed to the crappy connectors on the wiring loom below the seats to the pretensioners for both front s/belts. Yet it still continues to rear its ugly head over 12years on :nono:

My air bag light is on all the time. It seems to have only started since I had my steering wheel off?

What was the steering wheel off for ? have you a comm 2000 unit? and did anyone turn the centre of the comm 2000 ?

Not sure what a comm 2000 is i`m afraid. The steering wheel had become loose, and I didn`t have the correct tool to tighten it, so garage did it.

Comm 2000 is the indicator and wiper assembly behind steering wheel , if garage turned the centre of the comm there is a chance the airbag ribbon is damaged meaning new comm (£260) or it could be the connections under the drivers seat (remove and solder £0.00)
would try connections first cheaper.

ps. if you can get someone to put it on diagnostics it would help.

Nice one, many thanks!

The airbag light on my 206 seems to come on when the weather is cold, but goes out once the car warms up.

that sounds like a dodgy connection to me

The airbag light on my 206 seems to come on when the weather is cold, but goes out once the car warms up.Can anyone help if know how to fix please as me don't want pay lots of money for garage :S

sounds like a loose connection to me. id check all the wires under the seats.

nah i didnt have this problem, but i have read the same fault on here enough times. 90% of time it was resolved due to a loose connection for the seat airbags.

sorry forget said somethings where about all the wires? Do all seats? front and rears seats aswell? many thanks

206 doesn't have airbag connections under the seats unless they have seat airbags.
Car needs a diagnostic check.

peugeot dealer as there is a fault with the air bag sensor which could stop it working in a crash, Too late after you are squashed against the steering wheel and your passenger has disappeared down the road through the wind screen.
