Transponder Fault

Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to try something different in early 2000. In the early 2000's, Peugeot launched a flip-key style instead of the more reliable transponder chip that was encased in carbon. The new design was not without its issues. One of the most severe is the key blade wobble. This problem occurs when the key blade, which is the mouth part that is inserted into the lock first, wears out. The silver button inside the lock stops flipping the mechanism and the key will cease to feed into the lock.

The flip mechanism that keeps the blade in place is not very reliable. This is especially true on the Peugeot Partner 107, 107 and 407 ranges. This is due to the layout of this key 'flip' mechanism has changed from the previous model, a carbon-encased chip. This change has brought about four major issues, each of which can stop your Peugeot key from opening your car.
