Hi Chaps Quick Question About seat pretensioner

I am Buying some MV6 Seats for my Car and the Chap I am buying them off Kindly offered to take them out and when I phoned him he said the pretensioner on the drivers seat had gone off when he was removing the wiring to it. I asked Him if he had disconnected the Battery and he had not I guess this is why it fired. He said it really smelt.

My Question Is are all pretensioner's the same ? Can I take the pretensioner off my normal CD cloth seats and replace it with the fired pretensioner off a leather MV6 drivers seat ? And how Hard is it to do ?

Thanks
Craig

Craig the pretensioner should be the same,the prat did not insert the red key to stop it firing,make sure you do this when you remove yours.Regards Gary.

PS should be one bolt holding it to the frame.

I have been reading about this red key is it attached pretensoner and it just slots in ?

I hate messing with Pretensoners and air bags as i dont like loud bangs lol

I know there were 2 types of Pretensoner older mechanical onesand newer Pyro ones.

The MV6 seats to be fitted are facelift with airbags so should be the newer type, Just a case of swaping over the Pretensoner with the red key in and the Battery disconnected and a small wait before anything is touched

The red key applies only to the early spring fired pre-tensioners and not the later pyro-technic ones.....they can be swapped over and I have some spare if you want one (not fired!).
