Replacing a key on certain kinds of vehicles can be a costly and stressful process, particularly if the vehicle has been stolen.

Lost Keys

Peugeot is a car brand that is well-known for producing quality vehicles. They are also equipped with an extremely secure security feature that stops unauthorized use of the vehicle. The system is based on a transponder chip encrypted with a unique number of characters. The immobilizer will then be able to identify the right key to turn on the vehicle.

They can also program the key to work with Peugeot's immobilizers and lock barrels. This is a significantly cheaper option as opposed to going to the dealer.

For most models, the process of getting an additional peugeot key fob replacement key is relatively simple (except for 107,108, and Bipper). But, you'll need to know the pin code of your vehicle to get a new key. This can be a challenge particularly if you have only a short amount of time available to wait for the locksmith to show up.

Transponder Fault

The immobilizer in your peugeot boxer key 207 verifies the key you used to begin the vehicle is the correct one. This is accomplished by sending a signal via an antenna that is connected to the microchip in your key to the ignition. This is a safety feature that prevents your car from being taken away.

The warning light will flash or be lit on the console if the immobilizer is receiving an unrelated code to the one it's expecting. This indicates that something is wrong and you might need to surrender the vehicle at a Peugeot dealer, along with your registration card and identification document, in order to reset the system and the keys reset.

There is generally no need to worry unless you have accidentally swapped the original Peugeot key case for another (and lost the transponder), or if you damaged your key when it got wet. The most common problems with the immobilizer system arise due to a low battery in the key, a broken antenna, or a malfunctioning electronic within the module and engine computer.

Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to try something new in the early 2000's. Instead of the stable type of carbon-encased transponder chips, they introduced the flip key design. Unfortunately, the new design presented a number of major problems one of the main ones is key blade wobble. This happens when the key blade which is basically the mouthpiece that goes into the lock first, wears. The silver button inside the lock stops flipping the mechanism, and the key won't be able to enter the lock.

Fortunately, this can be easily repair using a brand new key blade, properly cut to match the code. It is important that the blade is copied from your previous key that is worn out, not a generic replacement because this will not give you a precise shape and will wear in exactly the same manner as your original key did. Your local Car Key Man auto-locksmith can offer you a new blade to resolve this problem.

Key Blade Damage

This can lead to the frequently-spread "Immobiliser fault" on your dashboard. There are a myriad of fairy tales on how to fix this problem, but the truth is that a new key blade is needed.

This is a relatively affordable task that can be completed by your local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They will simply have to cut a new blade and fit it to the Peugeot 207 key.

A good Peugeot flip key will last for around five years before tiny hairline cracks begin to appear on the circuit board which produces the transponder chip signal. These cracks are not affecting the chip, but they could cause other issues for your Peugeot flip key.

One of the main issues with these Peugeot keys is that the flip mechanism, which keeps the blade in place does not work well. This is particularly the case with the Peugeot Partner 107, 407 and 107 series. This is because the structure of this key 'flip' mechanism is different from the old type, carbon-encased key. This change has caused four major issues that may stop your Peugeot key from working.
