Born from real-world experience after a centre console water leak flooded our campervan's airbag ECU, this precision-engineered shield sits beneath the module to prevent moisture reaching vital electronics. With replacement airbag ECUs costing £500-1,000+ (plus coding), our affordable water shield provides essential protection against a common and costly Ducato problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePrevents airbag ECU water damage and B0100-49 fault codes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCustom-fit design for Fiat Ducato MK3 (2006-present)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eShields airbag ECU from water ingress through centre console leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStops ECU from sitting in pooled water during leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNo drilling, cutting, or adhesive required—uses existing mounting points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSimple bolt-in installation under centre console\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e3D printed from automotive-grade lightweight polymer with precision fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCompatible with Peugeot Boxer and Citroen Relay (same platform)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Hidden Water Ingress Problem:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMany Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, and Citroen Relay owners don't realize their airbag ECU sits in a vulnerable location beneath the centre console—directly in the path of water leaks. When water enters, it pools under the centre console—exactly where your airbag ECU sits.

The ECU had been sitting in water, causing corrosion and triggering the B0100-49 fault code. We realized this vulnerability affects thousands of Ducato-based vans—it's a design flaw waiting to cause expensive failures. Using our engineering expertise, we designed this water shield to elevate the ECU above any pooled water, preventing moisture contact with sensitive electronics.
