New Key For Peugeot 207
The Peugeot 207 is a very popular car. It's a small car with a lot of character and style.
In time, however they may develop various issues. These can be quite serious if not dealt with promptly.
It can be expensive and difficult to replace keys to your car, particularly if it has been stolen.
Lost Keys
Peugeot is a popular car brand which is well-known for making high-quality vehicles. These cars are equipped with a robust security feature that prevents unauthorized usage of the vehicle. The system is based on a transponder that is encrypted with an unique code. The immobilizer can then recognize the appropriate key to turn off the vehicle. This prevents thieves from using stolen Peugeot keys.
If you've lost your car keys, a professional auto locksmith can assist. They will come to your location and cut you a brand new spare car key. Additionally, they will program the new key to work with your Peugeot's immobilizer as well as lock barrels. This is a far more affordable option than visiting a dealer.
For the majority of models the process of obtaining an extra Peugeot key is relatively simple (except for 107, 108, and Bipper). You will however need to know the pin code of your vehicle in order to get a new key. This can be a hassle especially if there is an extremely short time 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 a signal from the microchip inside your key to the ignition switch through an antenna. This is a security feature that stops your car from being stolen.
peugeot car key G28CarKeys will flash or be lit on the console if the immobilizer is receiving an unrelated code to the one it anticipates. This means that something is wrong and you may have to surrender the vehicle at a Peugeot dealer, along with your registration card and identity document to have the system reset and the keys reset.
If you take your key to a garage who offers this service, they will analyze it and tell you if the transponder is defective. This service is free and they'll let you know if your Peugeot will not start because of a problem with the system.
If you've swapped the original Peugeot keycase with another (and that's why you lost the transponder chip) or damaged your key because it was wet, there is usually nothing to worry about. The most common problems that affect the immobilizer system are caused by a weak battery in your key, a broken antenna, or electronic failure within the module and the engine computer.
Key Blade Wobble
Peugeot decided to go for something different in the beginning of 2000's. In the beginning of 2000, Peugeot introduced the flip-key model instead of the reliable type of transponder chip, which was enclosed in carbon. The new design was not without its issues. One of the most problematic is the wobble of the key blade. This happens when the blade of a key wears out and is the part of the key that goes into the lock. The silver button inside the lock stops turning the mechanism, and the key won't feed into the lock.
Fortunately, this can be easily fix with a new key blade, cut to match the code. It is important that the blade is copied from your old worn-out key, and not a generic replacement since it won't give you a genuine shape and will continue to wear exactly in the same way that the original key did. Your local Car Key Man auto-locksmith can provide you with a new blade to help you solve this issue.
Key Blade Damage
The key blade or, to be more precise, the'mouth' of the lock key, may wear out. If the key isn't removed quickly, it will get stuck in the lock. This could lead to the often-repeated "Immobiliser fault" on your dashboard. There are many fairy tales about how to fix the issue, but in actual it is a need for a new blade.
Fortunately, this is inexpensive to complete and can be accomplished by a local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They'll simply need to cut a brand new blade and then attach it to your Peugeot 207 key.
A good Peugeot flip key will last for around five years before tiny hairline cracks start to appear on the circuit board that produces the transponder chip signal. These cracks do not affect the chip, but they could cause other problems with your Peugeot key.
One of the most significant issues with these Peugeot keys is that the flip mechanism - which keeps the blade in place - does not work well. This is especially relevant to the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 107 and Peugeot 407 ranges. This is because this key 'flip mechanism' has changed from the earlier model that was carbon-encased. This modification has caused four major issues, each of which could stop your Peugeot key from opening your car.
