Steering Wheel Airbag For CITROËN C8. Color HYR – Grey Alpaga
Driver airbag module designed as a direct-fit replacement for the steering wheel of the Citroën C8. This airbag restores primary frontal occupant protection and SRS functionality after deployment or damage. Built to the same mounting and electrical interface as original equipment, it is suitable for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics searching by part number (see codes below). The unit is supplied in the Alpaga grey trim (HYR) to match interior fittings and steering wheel covers.

Function And Features
The driver airbag is a pyrotechnic restraint module mounted in the steering wheel hub. In the event of a collision, the inflator deploys the bag to reduce the risk of head and chest injuries. The module includes the airbag cushion, inflator, squib connector(s) and cover matching the vehicle interior color. Correct electrical connection to the SRS system and mechanical mounting are essential for reliable operation.
Replacement Procedure
- Always work with the ignition off and the vehicle battery disconnected. Wait at least 10 minutes after battery disconnection to allow SRS capacitors to discharge safely.
- Remove any trim and steering wheel covers to access the airbag retaining bolts or screws.
- Carefully disconnect the airbag electrical connectors, releasing any locking tabs to avoid damage.
- Remove the airbag module from the steering wheel, taking care to keep the pad facing away from you and store it with the trim side up.
- Install the replacement module, reconnect connectors securely, and refit retaining hardware to the manufacturer’s torque specification.
- Reconnect the battery and verify SRS system status with an appropriate diagnostic tool; clear fault codes only after confirming all connections and mechanical fitment are correct.
Installation Recommendations
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes before starting work.
- Handle the airbag module carefully; do not place a loaded pad face down or expose it to heat or impact.
- Ensure clock spring (spiral cable) is centered before reassembly to avoid damaging the cable and causing airbag faults.
- Use the correct tools and tighten steering wheel fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque values.
- After installation, perform an SRS system check with a compatible diagnostic scanner and confirm there are no persistent fault codes.
Most Common Failure Causes
Airbag modules typically fail only as a result of deployment in a collision. Other common causes of SRS faults related to the driver airbag include damaged or worn clock spring (spiral cable), corroded or loose connectors, water ingress into the steering column area, or incorrect previous repairs. Electrical faults or physical damage can prevent deployment or trigger a constant SRS warning lamp.
Compatibility Notes
Intended for Citroën C8 vehicles that match the listed part numbers. Always compare the product code stamped on the original module with the codes above to ensure correct fitment and trim color. This listing is focused on the driver/steering wheel airbag module only.
