- OE Fitment: Designed to match the original COM2005 Valeo specification used on Peugeot 207 models.
- Direct Replacement: Same mounting and electrical connectors as the original part for straightforward swap.
- Durable Construction: Internal sliding contacts and mechanical detents for tactile feedback.
Compatibility And Fitment

Technical Information
Installation Recommendations
- Safety First: Disconnect the battery before starting work and wait a few minutes to ensure airbags and vehicle electronics are discharged.
- Removal Steps (Typical): Remove steering wheel airbag (follow manufacturer safety procedure), mark steering wheel position, remove steering wheel, remove upper and lower column covers, unplug connector(s) and unclip the old stalk assembly.
- Fitting Steps: Install new stalk in reverse order, reconnect electrical connectors securely, refit covers and steering wheel, torque fasteners to manufacturer specifications, reconnect the battery.
- Post-Installation Checks: Verify operation of headlights, fog lights, front and rear wipers, intermittent settings and horn. If the steering wheel or steering angle sensor was disturbed during the procedure, perform required recalibration according to vehicle service documentation.
- Recommendation: Replacement is within the skill set of experienced DIYers, but if airbag or steering components are removed, consider professional service to ensure safety and correct recalibration.
Why This Part Fails
- Wear Of Internal Contacts: Repeated switching causes contact erosion or intermittent connections, leading to unreliable operation of lights or wipers.
- Mechanical Damage: Plastic detents, levers or clips can break from forceful use or aging, causing loose or inoperative stalk movement.
- Contamination And Corrosion: Moisture, dirt or condensed humidity can corrode terminals and moving contacts, especially in older cars or vehicles exposed to harsh environments.
- Electrical Faults: Short circuits or wiring damage in the column harness may mimic stalk failure but can also stress the switch and accelerate wear.
Notes
Searches are commonly performed using the product codes 96661300XT and 6242YP or the designation COM2005. This helps garages and private owners quickly find the correct replacement for Peugeot 207 vehicles. After replacing the stalk, always confirm full functionality of all controlled systems during a test drive.
