Description
Driver’s seat airbag for Peugeot 307. Cable is not included.
This left-side driver’s seat airbag is designed for Peugeot 307 models and is an OEM-compatible SRS module that replaces the original seat-mounted airbag assembly. Ideal for professional workshops and skilled DIY mechanics, the unit is commonly searched by part numbers 5110818, 8216L1 and 8216FJ — include these codes in your search to find the exact match. The module restores occupant protection after deployment or when the original airbag is faulty, and is intended for direct replacement into the seat frame without altering the vehicle wiring (note: cable/wiring harness not supplied).

Compatibility And Fitment
Fits Left Seat / Driver’s Side for Peugeot 307 (first generation). Compatibility is commonly referenced by the product codes listed above — technicians often locate the correct part by entering these numbers. Confirm that the module’s connector type and mounting points match the seat frame before installation.
How Replacement Is Performed
Replacement of a seat-mounted airbag typically involves:
- Disconnecting the vehicle battery and waiting the recommended discharge time for the SRS capacitors before starting work.
- Removing seat trims and covers carefully to access the airbag module retaining bolts.
- Unscrewing the retaining hardware and gently disconnecting the airbag connector(s).
- Installing the replacement module, routing connectors as original, and tightening hardware to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
- Reconnecting the battery and using an SRS-capable diagnostic tool to clear codes and verify system status.
Installation Recommendations
- Always work in a safe, static-free environment and follow Peugeot safety procedures for SRS components.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes (or follow the vehicle manufacturer’s specified time) to allow residual charge to dissipate before touching airbag components.
- Do not attempt repairs on airbag inflators, initiators, or electrical connectors; replace the entire module if damaged.
- Use an SRS-capable diagnostic scanner to reset fault codes after installation and to verify that the airbag circuit is functioning correctly.
- Replace any damaged connectors, wiring harnesses, or fasteners; ensure proper routing to avoid chafing or pinching.
- If Uncertain, Have A Qualified Technician Complete The Installation.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Seat airbags rarely fail without cause. The most common reasons for replacement are deployment during a collision, physical damage to the module or connector (for example from tools or seat removal), moisture ingress and corrosion to connectors, previous improper repairs, or electrical faults caused by short circuits or damaged wiring. After deployment, the inflator and related components must be replaced — the module is single-use in deployment events.
Notes For Professionals
Part numbers and connector types are critical for correct fitment. Search using the product codes listed in the Technical Information section to find matching parts and avoid returns. This unit is supplied without the seat wiring/cable; if the vehicle harness is damaged, source the correct harness segment or repair using approved procedures.
