Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Parts Service Announcement - 21st March 2025

Please note that there is a temporary disruption to our 'Parts Service', so we will be unable to provide any official parts for members at the present time. Please refer to the Post HERE for further info

Disruption to Parts Service

As you may be aware, the consolidation of the old PSA to the Stellantis Group systems has resulted in both a merge of data tools and a requirement to migrate PSA accounts to Stellantis Systems.

This has caused some problems for organisations like ours and the Team are currently looking at the best way forward. This...

I don't have knowledge of the Peugeot, but the issue of a loose connection is known with several makes of car.
I doubt the piece of plastic holding the cable to the floor will cause an issue with the air bag light, but an intermittent loose connection in the plug and socket almost certainly will. Check for a good electrical connection within. Look...

I wasnt sure it was an Activa at first until i pulled up alongside it, and it had Activa on the door rubstrips.

Being a Mk2 and slight sign of soot i think it was an HDI, it also had full leather interior. Sorry for poor pics!

The latter one would be the one with say 16 alloy wheels, a slightly more sporty setup, slightly lowe ride hieght setup and more supportive seats as well for driver and passenger, recaro...

Sounds to me like the normal, standard Xantia blower problem (i.e. Ignition Switch and/or burned connectors on the blower module). The Activa is no different to any other aircon Xantia in this respect.

Was the sacrifice of an Activa worth it for this effort that's a bit visually
challenged - that intercooler is just stupid and sad!

expensive really

OK, not removed from an Activa although as it's the same engine so its of note that it didn't waste an Activa, when they did this conversion on another 205.

Note the subtle fitment of the intercooler, like the previous one! :lol:

Was there ever a follow up on the list of tuning mods for the Activa? I know there were a few threads on Activanet about bolt on goodies.

I have been asked to look at bolting a 16 valve, twin cam head onto an Activa, possibly with a hybrid turbo. I have also gleaned a fair amount of information from Puma Engineering about tweaking these engines....

Last post

The 16V head onto a block that was sold with 8 valve can work, because you saying that, reminds me of the fact that the Zetec head was being fitted to the CVH by various tuners.

Do you have a link to Puma's website?

That's odd.

Did he manage to see any of the ECUs? I ask as they all come out on different pins of the diagnostic connector. It has to be worth checking the integrity of the pins.

Also, there is a fused 12V supply to the diagnostic connector that is essential for powering the tester. I'll dig out the diagrams of both the 16 and 30 pin one....
