It can be expensive and difficult to replace keys to your car, particularly in the event that it has been stolen.

Lost Keys

Peugeot is well-known for its high-quality cars. These cars are equipped with a robust security feature that impedes the unauthorised use of the vehicle. The system is based on the transponder, which is encrypted with a unique code. This enables the immobilizer to recognize the correct key and turn on the engine.

If you've lost your car keys, an auto locksmith professional can help. They can cut you a spare key at your home. They can also program the new key to work with the immobilizer on your Peugeot and lock barrels. This is cheaper than visiting an dealer.

For the majority of models the process to obtain an extra Peugeot key is relatively simple (except for 107,108 and Bipper). However, you'll need to know the PIN code of your vehicle to learn a new key. This can be a challenge, especially if you have only a short amount of time to wait for the locksmith to arrive.

Transponder Fault

The immobilizer on your Peugeot 207 verifies that the key you have used to start your vehicle is the one it expects. This is accomplished by transmitting a signal through an antenna from the microchip in your key to the ignition. This is a security feature that prevents your car from being stolen.

The warning light will flash or be lit on the console if the immobilizer receives an error code that is different from the one it's expecting. This means that there is a problem and you may need to take your car to an Peugeot dealer to have it reset and the keys be reprogrammed.

If you take your keys to a garage who offers this service, they can scan it and determine whether the transponder is damaged. The service is free and they'll tell you if your Peugeot isn't starting because of a fault with the system.

There is generally no need to worry unless you accidentally swapped the original Peugeot key case with another (and lost the transponder) or damaged your key when it got wet. The most common issues that affect the immobilizer system are caused by a weak battery in your key, a broken antenna, or an electronic malfunction within the module and the engine computer.

Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to do something completely different in the beginning of 2000. In the early 2000's, Peugeot introduced the flip-key model instead of the traditional transponder chip that was encased in carbon. The new design did not come without its difficulties. One of the most severe is the key blade wobble. This issue occurs when the key blade wears down and is the part of the key that gets into the lock. This causes the silver button inside the key to stop turning the mechanism and the key stops feeding into the lock properly.

Fortunately this is easy to repair using a brand new key blade, properly cut to code. It is vital that the blade is copied from the worn-out key and not a generic one, as it will not give you the exact shape of your key and will continue to wear the same way. Your local Car Key Man auto-locksmith can provide you with a replacement blade to help you solve this problem.


Key Blade Damage

Quite often, the key blade gets damaged, or more accurately the'mouth' of the key, begins to wear out. If the key is not removed quickly, it will get stuck in the lock. This then leads to the dreaded "Immobiliser Fault appearing on your dashboard. There are many fairy tale beliefs on how to fix this problem, but the truth is that the replacement of the key blade is needed.

Fortunately, it is inexpensive to complete and can be accomplished by a local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They'll simply need to cut a brand new blade and attach it to your Peugeot 207 key.

The circuit board that creates the signal for the transponder chip is likely to show tiny hairline cracks in the course of about five years. These cracks don't affect the chip but they do cause other problems for your Peugeot key.

The flip mechanism, which holds the blade in place isn't very reliable. This is especially true on the Peugeot Partner, 407 and 107 series. This is due to the layout of the key's 'flip' mechanism has changed from the previous model, a carbon-encased chip. This change has caused four major issues that can hinder your Peugeot key from functioning.
