Cheap Peugeot 106 Airbag

The 106 ran in two main generations: the original Phase 1 (1991–1996) and the revised Phase 2 (1996–2004), so a 1996 car could belong to either generation depending on exactly when it was built — confirm which phase it is with the breaker before buying. Phase 1 and Phase 2 interiors differ, and whether an airbag crosses that boundary safely is something you must confirm with the breaker against both registrations. Airbags are safety-critical single-use components, so professional fitting by a qualified technician is strongly recommended.

For a steering wheel or dashboard-mounted airbag, door count is unlikely to affect fitment directly, but if you are sourcing a side or curtain airbag the door configuration of the donor car should match your own — confirm this with the breaker. Generation and trim level are the more important factors for most 106 airbag locations. As always with safety-critical parts, have the airbag fitted by a qualified professional.

The 106 was sold in trim levels including XN, XR, XL, XT, and the sportier GTi and Rallye variants, and seat style varied between trims, which can affect side-impact airbag compatibility where fitted. For a steering wheel or facia airbag, trim level is less likely to matter provided the generation matches, but you should still confirm the specific module is compatible with your car's SRS system by checking with the breaker against your registration. Airbags are safety-critical and should always be fitted by a qualified technician.

The Phase 1 ran from 1991 to 1996 and the Phase 2 from 1996 to 2004, and the two generations received interior revisions that mean parts do not always interchange. Crossing that generation boundary with a safety-critical component like an airbag is something you must confirm directly with the breaker, who can check compatibility against both registrations. Never fit a used airbag without professional installation by a qualified technician.

A used airbag is only safe to reuse if it has never been deployed — once triggered, an airbag is a single-use component and cannot be refitted. A reputable breaker will confirm the unit has not deployed and should be able to provide the donor vehicle's history; always ask this question explicitly before purchasing. Because airbags are safety-critical, fitting must be carried out by a qualified professional who can also verify the component is compatible with your car's specific SRS system.

Both a 1997 and a 2001 car fall within the Phase 2 generation (1996–2004), so there is a reasonable chance the airbag will be compatible, but minor mid-life updates mean you should not assume fitment without checking. Confirm with the breaker that the specific module is compatible with your car's SRS system by quoting both registrations, as this is something we cannot state as fact. Airbags are safety-critical single-use parts, so always have the replacement fitted by a qualified technician.
