New Key For Peugeot 207

Peugeot 207 is one of the most popular automobiles on the road. It's a compact car that is full of character and style.

As time passes, they can suffer from certain issues. If they are not addressed promptly the issues can turn very serious.

Replacing a key on certain models of cars is a costly and stressful process, especially when the vehicle has been stolen.

Lost Keys

Peugeot is a car brand which is renowned for its quality vehicles. They have a strong security system that stops the use of the vehicle by anyone who is not authorized. The system utilizes an electronic transponder that is encrypted with a unique code. This enables the immobilizer to identify the correct key and start the engine. This makes it difficult for thieves to make use of stolen Peugeot keys.

If you've lost your car keys, a professional auto locksmith can help. They'll cut you a spare car key in your area. They can also program the key to work with Peugeot's immobilizers and lock barrels. This is a much less expensive option as opposed to going to the dealer.

The process of getting the spare peugeot 3008 key fob key is fairly simple for most models (except for the 107, 108, and Bipper). However, you'll have to know the PIN code of your vehicle to get a new key. This can be a headache especially if you only have the time available to wait for the locksmith to show up.

Transponder Fault

The immobilizer system on your Peugeot 207 verifies that the key you have used to start your car is the one it wants. This is done by sending a signal via an antenna from the microchip inside your key to the ignition. This is a security feature that was designed to prevent your car from being taken.

The warning light will either flash or glow on the console if the immobilizer detects an error code that is different from the one it anticipates. This indicates that there is a problem and you may need to take your car to an Peugeot dealer to reset it and have the keys reprogrammed.

If you bring your key to a garage that offers this service, they will read it and tell whether the transponder has a problem. They can do this for no cost and tell you whether the chip is functioning properly or if there is a problem elsewhere within the system that is stopping your Peugeot from getting started.

Unless you have accidentally swapped your original Peugeot key case for another (and that's why you lost the transponder chip) or damaged your key because it was wet, there is usually nothing to be concerned about. The most frequent issues that affect the immobilizer system are due to a low battery in the key, a damaged antenna, or a malfunctioning electronic within the module and engine computer.

Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to try something different in the early 2000s. Instead of the dependable type of carbon encased transponder chips, they introduced a flip key design. The new design was not without its challenges. One of the most serious is the wobble of the key blade. This problem is caused when the key blade which is essentially the mouth piece that goes into the lock first, wears. This causes the silver button inside the key to stop flipping the mechanism and the key stops feeding into the lock properly.

Fortunately, this can be easily fix using a new key blade, properly cut to code. It is essential that the blade is copied from the worn-out key and not a generic one since the latter does not reflect the true shape of your key, and will continue to wear the same way. Your local Car Key Man auto-locksmith can provide you with a new blade to fix this problem.

Key Blade Damage

Quite often, the key blade gets damaged, or more accurately the'mouth' of the key, wears out. This can cause the key to get stuck inside the lock if it's not removed in a timely manner. This can lead to the dreaded "Immobiliser fault" on your dashboard. There are numerous fairy tales about how to fix the problem, but in reality you need a new blade.

Luckily, this is cost-effective and can be done by a local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They'll just need to cut a brand new blade and put it on the Peugeot 207 key.

A good Peugeot flip key should last about five years before tiny hairline cracks begin to appear on the circuit board which produces the transponder chip's signal. These cracks don't affect the chip but can cause other problems for your Peugeot key.

The flip mechanism, which keeps the blade in place isn't very reliable. This is especially true for the Peugeot Partner, peugeot 308 key 107 and peugeot 2008 key 407 ranges. This is because the key's "flip mechanism" has changed from the earlier model, carbon-encased chips. This modification has caused four major problems, all of which could prevent your Peugeot key from activating your car.
