Toyota Trouble

My Toyota Aygo went in for its fourth year service yesterday and I asked Toyotaworld to look at a flashing light on the dashboard - the airbag warning light.
Their diagnosis is that it needs a new Airbag ECU - £198 for supply and installation. They charged £34 (+ VAT) for the diagnosis as it, apparently, took half an hour (or part thereof I suppose) to investigate. In many years of motoring I have not been charged for such a diagnosis when completed with a service.
The Airbag ECU is not a wear and tear part and should surely last a lot longer than four years.
Has anyone had an Airbag ECU replaced - either in the Aygo or the equivalent Citroen or Peugot models?
