Description
Right Front Airbag for Peugeot 308 T7 — Passenger Side.
High-quality replacement right front (passenger side) airbag designed for Peugeot 308 T7 vehicles. This airbag is commonly searched by OEM part numbers 9681466680 and 8216RQ, so it is ideal for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who look up parts by reference. The unit restores occupant restraint functionality after deployment or when a fault is present in the original module. Fitment follows factory mounting points and electrical connectors used on Stellantis PSA group vehicles.

How To Replace
Replacement of a passenger front airbag should be performed with care and by a qualified technician or an experienced DIYer who follows safety procedures. General replacement steps:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to allow the SRS capacitors to discharge.
- Remove trim panels and the glovebox as required to access the passenger airbag mounting points.
- Unbolt the airbag module from the dashboard structure and carefully disconnect the electrical connector(s), releasing any locking tabs.
- Install the new airbag in the correct orientation, connect the electrical connector(s) securely, and refit the module using the original mounting points. Tighten fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque specification.
- Reinstall all trim, reconnect the battery, and verify SRS system status with appropriate diagnostic equipment. Address any stored fault codes per factory procedures.
Installation Recommendations
Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s repair manual and safety instructions. Take precautions against static discharge and avoid handling the airbag deployment surface. Use appropriate tools and, where specified, replacement fasteners. If an SRS warning lamp remains on after installation, diagnose with PSA diagnostic tools to clear faults and verify system readiness.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Passenger airbags typically fail or require replacement for these reasons:
- Deployment During A Collision: The most common reason for replacement is deployment in an accident.
- Electrical Faults Or Connector Damage: Corrosion, damaged wiring, or poor connector contact can trigger SRS faults.
- Water Ingress Or Interior Damage: Moisture from leaks or interior damage can compromise the unit or its harness.
- Age-Related Degradation: While airbags are designed for long service life, surrounding component deterioration or prior repairs can lead to faults.
Additional Notes
This airbag is intended as a direct replacement for the passenger-side module in compatible Peugeot 308 T7 vehicles. Because airbags are safety-critical components, correct installation and verification of the SRS system are essential for occupant protection.
