Peugeot Partner Airbag Replacement Parts

The Partner has run across three main generations in the UK: the first generation (Mk1) ran from 1996 to 2008, the second generation (Mk2) ran from 2008 to 2018 with a facelift around 2015, and the third generation (Mk3, also sold as the Partner/Rifter) arrived from 2018 onwards. Knowing your generation is the single most important step when searching for a matching airbag, as parts from different generations are not interchangeable. Check your registration on the DVLA or V5C to confirm exactly which generation you have before contacting a breaker.

This question spans the Mk2 facelift boundary, which fell around 2015, so a 2014 car is pre-facelift Mk2 and a 2016 car is post-facelift Mk2. Whether an airbag crosses that facelift boundary is something you need to confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as connector and SRS system changes at a facelift can affect compatibility. Give the breaker both registration plates and ask them to compare part numbers before purchasing.

For the Partner, trim level differences such as S, SE, or Tepee generally relate to seat style and interior specification rather than directly altering which airbag module is fitted, though seat-mounted side airbags can vary depending on whether your trim included them as standard or as an option. If your car has seat-mounted airbags, make sure the breaker supplies an airbag from a vehicle with the same seat and trim specification so the cover and mounting match. Always confirm the exact airbag location you need — dashboard, steering wheel, seat, or curtain — when requesting a quote.

Airbags are safety-critical components and we strongly recommend professional fitting by a qualified technician rather than DIY installation. Airbags are single-use devices, meaning any module that has previously deployed cannot be reused and must be replaced, and incorrect installation of a new unit can cause accidental deployment or failure to deploy in a collision. A professional will also be able to reset or replace the SRS control unit and clear fault codes as required.

The Partner Tepee (the passenger-car bodystyle) and the standard panel van or crew-van Partner can differ in interior layout, seating configuration, and the airbags fitted as standard, so the body style and seat arrangement of the donor vehicle do matter. Confirm with the breaker that the airbag you are buying came from a vehicle with the same body style, seating layout, and trim level as yours, quoting your registration so they can cross-reference. Compatibility with your specific SRS system is something only the breaker can verify against your registration, so do not assume a match based on year alone.

Give the breaker your full registration number, specify the exact location of the airbag you need (steering wheel, passenger fascia, seat-mounted side, or curtain/roof), and confirm your trim level and body style so they can match seat specification where relevant. The NS (nearside, left) and OS (offside, right) distinction matters for seat-mounted and curtain airbags, so be clear about which side you need. Because airbag module compatibility with your specific SRS system cannot be guaranteed without checking, a reputable breaker will verify the part number against your registration before supplying the part.
