    I'm quite sure you need to buy a new pre-tensioner for it as a repair would be too uncertain.
    You can switch the tensioner so you don't need a new belt.
    I wouldn't go to a breaker for this, unless you trust them. Better get a new one. Start with getting a quote and a part number from a dealer, it might not be that expensive.

    I thought pre tensioners were pyrotechnic, one use only? If the front airbags went off id imagine the pretensioners did too, so clearing a flag on a control unit isn't gonna help.

    Not an expert, just interested.
    Did the person who told you this sell you the car? Or was it a reputable third party?
