New Key For Peugeot 207

The Peugeot 207 is a very popular car. It's a small car with lots of character and design.

Over time however they could develop some problems. If they are not addressed promptly they can become quite grave.

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

Lost Keys

Peugeot is well-known for its premium cars. These cars have a strong security feature that blocks unauthorized use of the vehicle. The system utilizes the transponder, which is encrypted with a unique number of characters. The immobilizer then recognizes the correct key to turn on the vehicle. This makes it difficult for thieves to make use of stolen Peugeot keys.

A professional auto locksmith is competent to assist you in case you've lost your car keys. They'll cut you a spare key at your home. They can also program the key to use Peugeot's immobilizers and lock barrels. This is a much cheaper alternative than going to the dealer.

The process for getting a spare Peugeot key is quite simple for most models (except for the 107 and 108 Bipper). But, you'll require the PIN number of your vehicle to learn a new key. This can be a challenge, especially if there is a time limit to wait for a locksmith.

Transponder Fault

The immobilizer on your Peugeot 207 verifies that the key you used to start your vehicle is the one it needs. It does this by sending a signal from the microchip inside your key to the ignition switch through an antenna. This is a security feature that helps protect your car from being taken away.

The warning light will flash or be lit on the console when the immobilizer receives an unrelated code to the one it is expecting. This means that something is not right and that you may need to surrender the vehicle at a Peugeot dealer, along with your registration card as well as an identity document, in order to reset the system and the keys reset.

You can determine if there is a transponder problem in your key by analyzing it at a garage that offers this service. They can perform this service for free and tell you whether the chip is functioning correctly or if there is a problem elsewhere within the system that is hindering your Peugeot from starting.

There's usually no need to be concerned unless you accidentally switched the original Peugeot key case for a different one (and lost the transponder), or if you damaged your key when it got wet. Most immobilizer issues result from a weak battery, a damaged key antenna, or a electronic failure within the engine computer.

Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to try something completely different in the beginning of 2000. Instead of the reliable type of carbon-encased transponder chips, they introduced a flip key design. The new design was not without its issues. One of the most significant is the key blade wobble. This issue occurs when the blade on a key wears away and is the part of the key which goes into the lock. This causes the silver button inside the key to stop allowing the mechanism to flip out the mechanism, and the key stops feeding into the lock in a proper manner.

This can be easily corrected by a new blade that is cut to the correct size. It is essential that the blade is copied from the old worn-out key, and not a generic replacement because this will not provide you with a proper shape and will continue to wear in exactly the same way as your original key did. Your local Car Key Man auto-locksmith can provide you with a replacement blade to help you solve this issue.

Key Blade Damage

The blade for the key or to be more precise, the "mouth" of the lock key, may wear out. If the key is not removed swiftly, it may get stuck in the lock. This can lead to the common "Immobiliser fault" on your dashboard. There are many myths and legends about how to fix this problem, but the truth is that the replacement of the key blade is needed.

It is a comparatively cost-effective task that could be performed by your local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They'll need to cut a fresh blade and attach it to your Peugeot 207 key.

The circuit board that produces the signal for the transponder chip will start to show tiny hairline cracks around five years. These cracks do not affect the chip, but they can cause other problems with your Peugeot key.

One of the biggest problems with these Peugeot keys is that the flip mechanism - that holds the blade in place - isn't very effective. This is especially relevant to the Peugeot Partner, peugeot 207 car key 107 and Peugeot 407 ranges. This is due to the fact that this key's "flip mechanism" has changed from the old model with carbon-encased chips. This has resulted in four major issues that may cause problems to your Peugeot key from working.
