New Key For Peugeot 207

Peugeot 207 is one of the most popular cars that you can find. It's a tiny car that has a lot of style and character.

In time, however, they can suffer from some issues. If not addressed swiftly they can become quite grave.

It can be expensive and stressful to replace the car key, especially when it was stolen.

Lost Keys

Peugeot is a brand of cars which is well-known for making quality vehicles. These cars are equipped with a strong security feature that impedes the unauthorised use of the vehicle. The system uses a transponder chip secured with a unique code. The immobilizer then recognizes the proper key to start the vehicle. This makes it impossible for thieves to make use of stolen Peugeot keys.

A professional auto locksmith is able to help you if you lose your car keys. They can cut you a spare car key in your area. They can also program the key to work with peugeot car key's immobilizers and lock barrels. This is a much cheaper alternative as opposed to going to the dealer.

For most models the process to obtain an additional Peugeot key is fairly simple (except for 107,108 and Bipper). However, you will have to know the PIN code for your vehicle to learn a new key. This can be quite a hassle, especially if there is a time limit to wait for a locksmith to arrive.

Transponder Fault

The immobilizer on your Peugeot 207 verifies the key you used to start your vehicle is the correct one. It does this by sending an electronic signal from the microchip inside your key to the ignition switch using an antenna. This is a security device designed to protect your vehicle from being taken.

The warning light will either flash or glow on the console when the immobilizer receives an unrelated code to the one it is expecting. This means that something is not right and you may have to surrender the car at an Peugeot dealer with your registration card and identification document, in order to reset the system and the keys reset.

You can determine whether there is a transponder fault within your key by analyzing it at a garage that provides this service. This service is completely free and they will tell you when your Peugeot will not start because there is a problem with the system.

There's usually no need to be concerned unless you accidentally swapped the original Peugeot key case with another (and lost the transponder), or if you damaged your key after it was wet. The most common issues with the immobilizer system arise due to a low battery in the key, a damaged antenna, or electronic failure within the module and engine computer.

Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to try something different in the early 2000s. Instead of the reliable type of carbon-encased transponder chips, they came up with a flip key design. The new design was not without its difficulties. One of the most problematic is the key blade wobble. This happens when the key blade, which is essentially the mouth part that is inserted into the lock first, wears out. This causes the silver button within the key to stop turning the mechanism and the key stops feeding into the lock properly.

This can be fixed by a new blade that is cut to the correct size. It is crucial that the blade is copied from your old key that is worn out, not a generic replacement because this will not give you a true shape and will continue to wear exactly in the same manner as the original key did. Your local Car Key Man auto locksmith will be able to fit you with a new blade and solve this annoying problem.

Key Blade Damage

Quite often, the key blade gets damaged, or more accurately the'mouth' of the key, wears out. If the key isn't removed quickly, it can become stuck in the lock. This could lead to the often-repeated "Immobiliser fault" on your dashboard. There are many fairy tales on how to fix this problem, but the truth is that a new key blade is required.

This is a relatively cost-effective task that could be completed by your local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They'll have to cut a new key blade and attach it to your Peugeot 207.

A high-quality Peugeot flip key will last for about five years before tiny hairline cracks begin to appear on the circuit board that generates the transponder chip's signal. These cracks do not affect the chip, but they could cause other problems with your Peugeot flip key.

One of the biggest problems with these peugeot key replacement keys is that the flip mechanism - which holds the blade in place isn't working very well. This is especially applicable to the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 107 and Peugeot 407 ranges. This is due to the fact that the key's "flip mechanism" has been upgraded from the older type with carbon-encased chips. This change has brought about four major problems, all of which can stop your Peugeot key from beginning your car.
