Over time, they may develop some issues. If not addressed swiftly the issues can turn very grave.

It can be costly and stressful to replace a car key, especially in the event that it has been stolen.

Lost Keys

Peugeot is well-known for its high-end cars. These cars come with a secure feature that impedes the unauthorised use of the vehicle. The system employs the transponder chip, which is encrypted with a unique code. The immobilizer then recognizes the appropriate key to turn off the vehicle. This makes it impossible for thieves to use stolen Peugeot keys.

A professional auto locksmith is competent to assist you in case you've lost your car keys. They will come to your location and cut you a spare car key. They can also program the key to work with Peugeot's immobilizers as well as lock barrels. This is a less expensive option than going to the dealer.

The process for getting an additional Peugeot key is fairly simple for the majority of models (except for the 107, 108, and Bipper). You will need to know the PIN number of your vehicle to obtain the new key. This can be a headache especially if you are in a position with the time to wait for the locksmith to show up.

Transponder Fault

The immobilizer on your peugeot partner van key 207 verifies the key that you used to start the vehicle is the correct one. This is accomplished by transmitting a signal through an antenna that is connected to the microchip in your key to the ignition. This is a safety feature that helps protect your car from being stolen.

The warning light will flash or illuminate on the console when the immobilizer receives a different code from the one it anticipates. This means that there is a problem and you may need to take the car to an Peugeot dealer to have it reset and the keys changed.

The service is free and they'll inform you that your Peugeot isn't starting because there is a problem with the system.

There is usually no need to worry unless you have accidentally swapped the original peugeot 5008 key key case with another (and lost the transponder) or damaged your key when it got wet. Most immobilizer issues result from a depleted battery, a broken key antenna, or an electronic malfunction within the engine computer.

Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to try something completely different in the beginning of 2000. In the beginning of 2000, Peugeot introduced the flip-key model instead of the trusted transponder chip that was encased in carbon. Unfortunately, the new design presented numerous issues among them most prominent is the key blade wobble. This problem occurs when the blade of the key, which is the mouth piece that goes into the lock first, wears out. The silver button inside the lock stops turning the mechanism, and the key won't feed into the lock.

Fortunately, this is a simple issue to repair using a brand new key blade, cut correctly to code. It is vital that the blade is copied from the original key, and not a generic replacement, because this will not give you a genuine shape and will wear exactly in the same way that your original key did. Your local Car Key Man auto-locksmith can provide you with a new blade to resolve this problem.

Key Blade Damage

Quite often, the key blade is damaged, or more accurately the'mouth' of the key, wears out. This could cause the key become stuck inside the lock if it's not removed quickly enough. This can lead to the often-repeated "Immobiliser fault" on your dashboard. There are a lot of fairy tale beliefs on how to fix this problem, but the truth is that a new key blade is required.

Fortunately, this is fairly inexpensive to complete and can be accomplished by a local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They'll have to cut a new key blade and fit it onto your Peugeot 207.

A quality Peugeot flip key should last for about five years before tiny hairline cracks start to appear on the circuit board that generates the transponder chip signal. These cracks won't affect the chip, but they can cause other problems with your Peugeot key.

The flip mechanism, which keeps the blade in place it isn't the most reliable. This is particularly true for the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 107 and Peugeot 407 models. This is because the structure of this key 'flip' mechanism has changed from the previous type, carbon-encased key. This change has introduced four major issues, each of which could block your Peugeot key from starting your car.
