New Key For Peugeot 207

Peugeot 207 is one of the most sought-after cars on the roads. It's a small car that has lots of character and style.

As time passes they may experience issues. These may be grave if they are not addressed promptly.

It can be expensive and stressful to replace a car key, especially if it has been stolen.

Lost Keys

Peugeot is well-known for its top-quality cars. These cars are equipped with a robust security feature that blocks unauthorized use of the vehicle. The system uses the transponder chip, which is encrypted with a unique number of characters. The immobilizer can then recognize the right key to turn on the vehicle. This helps prevent thieves from stealing Peugeot keys.

If you've lost your car keys, an experienced auto locksmith can help. They will visit your location and cut you a brand new spare car key. They can also program the new key to work with your Peugeot's immobilizer and lock barrels. This is cheaper than going to a dealer.

For the majority of models, the process of getting an additional Peugeot key is quite simple (except for 107,108, and Bipper). You'll need the PIN number of your vehicle for obtaining the new key. This can be a headache particularly if you have the time to wait for the locksmith to arrive.

Transponder Fault

The immobilizer feature 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 embedded in your key to the ignition switch via an antenna. This is a security function designed to protect your vehicle from being stolen.

If the immobilizer control unit receives a signal from your key that isn't identical from the code it's looking for, it will light the warning light on the console or flash rapidly. This indicates there is something wrong and you'll have to take the car to a Peugeot dealer to reset it and get the keys reprogrammed.

You can determine whether there is a transponder issue in your key by reading it at a garage that provides this service. They can do this for no cost and will let you know if the chip is still working properly or if it is a problem elsewhere in the system that is stopping your Peugeot from beginning.

There is usually no need to worry unless you accidentally switched the original Peugeot key case with another (and lost the transponder), or if you damaged your key after it was wet. The most frequent problems with the immobilizer system arise due to a low battery in your key, a broken antenna, or an electronic malfunction within the module as well as the engine computer.

Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to go for something new in the early 2000's. In the beginning of 2000, Peugeot introduced a flip-key design instead of the reliable type of transponder chip that was encased in carbon. The new design had its difficulties. One of the most problematic is the wobble of the key blade. This problem is caused when the key blade, which is the mouth piece that is inserted into the lock first, wears. The silver button inside the lock stops flipping the mechanism, and the key will no longer be able to enter the lock.

Fortunately this is easy to repair using a brand new key blade, cut correctly to code. It is vital that the blade is copied from your old worn-out key, and not a generic replacement key for peugeot partner van, as this won't give you a precise shape and will continue to wear in exactly the same way as your original key did. Your local Car Key Man auto locksmith can install a brand new blade and fix this frustrating issue.

Key Blade Damage

Quite often, the blade of a key gets damaged, or more precisely the'mouth' on the key begins to wear out. If the key is not removed quickly, it will get stuck in the lock. This can cause the common "Immobiliser fault" on your dashboard. There are many fairy-tales about how to fix the problem, but in fact it is a need for a new blade.

Fortunately, this is affordable and can be accomplished by local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They will need to simply cut a new blade and put it on your Peugeot 207.

A quality Peugeot flip key should last for five years or more before tiny hairline cracks start to appear on the circuit board that produces the transponder chip signal. These cracks won't affect the chip, but they can cause other problems with your Peugeot key.

The flip mechanism that holds the blade in position, is not very reliable. This is especially in the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 107 and Peugeot 407 ranges. This is because this key 'flip mechanism' has changed from the previous model carbon-encased chips. This change has brought about four major issues that could cause problems to your Peugeot key from functioning.
