peugeot 306 hdi - peugeot 306 hdi (2000) front airbags deployed - dee0bee0

Hi,

i recently had the misfortune of having a light front end collision in my 306 hdi, external damage would be an easy repair for myself, however, both the passenger and drivers airbag were activated and are still in the deployed state, my main problem is that the engine will not turn over on the key, i have located the front impact sensor with red cap found to the rear of the battery tray, and pressed it to reset, but still no joy, i assume i will have to replace airbags before i can get engine running ? does anyone know if there are other asociated parts i may have to replace . . . . ? any info regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated,

thanks in advance.

Air bag deployment shouldn,t stop engine starting on this model.Newer cars possibly yes.You will need 2 airbags and a control module.hth

I have been trying to remeber whether it has a fuel pump impact cut of switch !

Also check the cam belt didn't jump or fail on impact. Air bag deployment shouldnt stop the engine running unless its burnt the loom somewhere. I have seen quite a few major loom failures after air bag deployment.
