Description
Left front pyrotechnic pretensioner for Citroën C2, C3 and Pluriel. Pyrotechnic belt anchor. Driver’s seat.
This original-equipment style left front pyrotechnic seatbelt pretensioner is designed for Citroën C2, C3, C3 Pluriel and compatible Peugeot models such as the 1007. The unit tightens the driver’s seatbelt instantly in the event of a severe impact, reducing occupant movement and improving occupant restraint together with the airbag system. Ideal for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics who need a direct-fit replacement part (OE references included) to restore vehicle safety after collision damage or when the restraint system reports a fault.

Why The Part Fails Most Often
Pretensioners are pyrotechnic and designed as single-use safety devices: the most common reason for replacement is deployment in a collision. Other common failure causes include electrical connector damage, corrosion or water ingress to the connector area, and wiring harness damage from previous repairs or seat removal. Fault codes from the airbag control module indicating an open circuit, short or resistance anomaly will also necessitate replacement. Because these units contain an explosive charge, handle and store them with caution.
This part is suitable for professional fitting. If you are a DIY mechanic, ensure you have the correct tools and refer to vehicle-specific repair manuals when replacing safety critical components like a seatbelt pretensioner.
