How Replacement Is Performed
Replacement is straightforward for a trained mechanic. Typical steps include removing the rear seat cushion or trim to access the retractor mounting, unbolting the old bracket and retractor, disconnecting any electrical connector if the assembly includes a pretensioner, fitting the new bracket, and securing fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque specification. After refit, check belt travel and locking function by pulling the webbing sharply to confirm engagement. If the vehicle is equipped with a pretensioner or related SRS components, verify the airbag system fault memory with an appropriate diagnostic tool after the job.
Installation Recommendations
- Follow Manufacturer Procedure: Remove trim panels carefully to avoid damage; replace any worn fasteners.
- Safety Precautions: If the assembly includes a pretensioner, disconnect the battery and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended waiting period and procedures before working on SRS components.
- Use Correct Fasteners And Torque: Always tighten bolts to the Peugeot specified torque values; consider replacing single-use bolts.
- Functional Check: Verify smooth retraction and emergency locking after installation. Confirm there are no SRS or restraint system warnings on the instrument cluster.
Why This Part Fails
- Wear And Contamination: Dirt, grit or foreign objects can jam the retractor mechanism, preventing smooth movement or causing inadvertent locking.
- Corrosion And Mechanical Fatigue: Corroded mounting points or weakened springs can reduce retraction force or cause failure to lock correctly.
- Pretensioner Deployment: In a collision, the pyrotechnic pretensioner activates and the entire assembly must be replaced.
- Webbing Damage: Frayed or cut belt webbing from misuse or sharp edges necessitates replacement of the belt assembly for safety.
Notes
This part is primarily specified for the Peugeot 308 T7 rear center seat. It is often ordered by OE codes 96588041XX and 8975V0, so include these references when searching stock. Replace the assembly if the belt fails to retract, locks up without reason, shows visible damage, or after any collision involving passenger restraints.
