Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis (Citroën / Peugeot)
- Model: Citroën C8; Peugeot 807
- Product Codes: 14007783XX, 8974XE
- Other Numbers: 14007783 (variable suffixes may apply)
Installation And Recommendations
- Safety First: Work In A Well-Lit Area And Wear Appropriate PPE. Before starting, disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 2 minutes to reduce the risk of accidental SRS/pretensioner activation.
- Removal: Remove necessary trim panels to access mounting bolts. Unbolt the lower anchor(s), shoulder guide(s), and retractor mounting bolt(s) following the vehicle repair manual sequence.
- Replacement: Fit the new belt ensuring correct webbing routing and that the retractor is mounted in the correct orientation. Tighten all fasteners to the torque values specified in the manufacturer service manual.
- Function Check: Verify smooth extension and retraction, and confirm the locking mechanism engages under a sharp pull. Ensure buckle latches securely and releases normally.
- Final Steps: Refit trim, reconnect the battery, and perform any required system checks described in the vehicle documentation. Do not use the vehicle for passenger transport if the belt shows any abnormal behavior after installation.
Replacement Guidance
Replace the seat belt immediately if webbing is frayed, cut, contaminated with corrosive substances, if the retractor fails to operate, or after deployment of a pretensioner in an accident. A safety belt is a life‑safety component — do not attempt to repair damaged webbing or internal mechanisms.
Common Failure Causes
- Mechanical Wear: Repeated use causes webbing abrasion and fraying, particularly where it rubs on trim or seat edges.
- Contamination: Dirt, grit or liquids can jam the retractor or degrade the webbing and buckle mechanism.
- Corrosion: Moisture ingress to mounting points or internal components can lead to binding or failure to retract.
- Pretensioner Deployment: A belt that has been involved in a collision and whose pretensioner has fired must be replaced.
- Incorrect Installation: Improper routing or loose fasteners can prevent correct operation and reduce occupant protection.
This seat belt is aimed at mechanics and competent DIYers who understand vehicle restraint systems and follow manufacturer procedures. The part is frequently searched by its product codes (14007783XX, 8974XE), so using these references helps find the correct replacement quickly.
