Haven't dealt with 206 specific airbag system yet... But sounds like earth fault which could be collision sensor wiring, cable rotation mechanism (between steering wheel and column) and possibly seat ... |

Hmm... Sounds tricky then indeed!
Guess you'll have to grab a plant sprayer and start misting carefully around components with a running engine... (The way old dodgy plug wires and distributors wou ... |

Yep, most likely in the ignition side; double check battery and earth strap connections for clean tight fit and connection (poor connection won't produce good enough spark) and check around coil pack ... |

Is it just a knocking noise? Or do you feel it too (through the steering)?
Could even be something lying loose otherwise? |
