Warning light for airbag system on Peugeot 106: experiences and solutions

Hey, I once had a similar problem with my Peugeot 206 (petrol engine, year of manufacture 2001, with about 145,000 km). I also constantly had this stupid airbag warning light. I then went to the garage and it turned out that some components of the airbag system were defective. They had to replace the airbag and the control unit, which was quite a lot of work with all the cables and stuff. I'm telling you, it's not something you should ignore. I was really glad I got it fixed before anything worse happened, you know? The problem is, there could be many different faults that could lead to a warning light like that. In my case, the problem was the control unit and the airbag. Hope you're luckier than me and it's nothing serious. However, I would definitely go to the garage and have it checked. Better safe than sorry, right? Hope that helps you!

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds like it was a pretty extensive job for you. Can I ask how much the repair ended up costing you? And have you had any problems with the airbag system since then? My poor little Peugeot is having more and more problems...

Hey, you're welcome! You know, old cars have their pitfalls, but I guess that's part of it. No, I didn't have any costs at all. The defective components of the airbag system were repaired under warranty. The cost was €0, so I was really lucky. I hope it's the same for you! There have been no more problems since the visit to the workshop. It was a failure of the airbag system, but since then the warning light has remained off. So, definitely have it checked, you don't want the airbag not to work in an emergency, do you? You shouldn't save money at the wrong end. So cheer up, everything will be fine!

Hey, that's really good news! I thought I was going to lose a fortune here... It's reassuring to hear that you didn't have any more problems afterwards. Safety first, of course, especially with airbags. So I'll visit the garage as soon as possible and hope that it's nothing serious for me either. Thanks again for your help and words of encouragement! See you then!
