New Key For Peugeot 207
The Peugeot 207 is a very well-known car. It's a very small car that has a lot of character and style.
Over time, however, they may develop some issues. These may be grave if they are not addressed quickly.
Replacing keys for certain models of cars can be a very expensive and stressful process, especially if the vehicle has been stolen.
Lost Keys
Peugeot is known for its top-quality automobiles. These cars come with a strong security feature that stops unauthorized use of the vehicle. The system is based on a transponder that is encrypted with a unique code. The immobilizer will then be able to identify the right key to turn on the vehicle. This stops thieves from using stolen Peugeot keys.
If you've lost your car keys, an experienced auto locksmith can assist. They will cut you a spare car key in your area. Additionally, they will program the new key to work with your Peugeot's immobilizer as well as lock barrels. This is less expensive than visiting a dealer.
The process of getting an additional Peugeot key is relatively easy for most models (except for the 107, 108, and Bipper). You will need to know the PIN code of your vehicle to obtain the new key. This can be a challenge especially if there is a time limit to wait for a locksmith.
Transponder Fault
The immobilizer on your Peugeot 207 verifies the key that you used to start the car is the right one. It does this by transmitting an electronic signal from the microchip in your key to the ignition switch by an antenna. This is a security feature that was designed to protect your vehicle from being taken.
The warning light will flash or be lit on the console if the immobilizer receives an incorrect code from the one it is expecting. This means that something is wrong and that you may need to surrender your car to an Peugeot dealer, along with your registration card and identity document to have the system reset and the keys changed.
You can tell if there is a transponder problem in your key by analyzing it at a garage which offers this service. They are able to do this for free and will let you know whether the chip is functioning correctly or if there is a problem elsewhere within the system that is stopping your Peugeot from starting.
There is generally no need to worry unless, for instance, you accidentally swapped the original Peugeot keycase for a different one (and lost the transponder) or damaged your key when it got wet. The most common issues in the immobilizer mechanism are due to a low battery in your key, a broken antenna, or electronic failure within the module and engine computer.
Key Blade Wobble
Peugeot decided to try something completely different in the beginning of 2000. In the beginning of 2000, Peugeot introduced a flip-key style instead of the reliable type of transponder chip, which was enclosed in carbon. The new design has its issues. One of the most significant is the key blade wobble. This issue happens when the blade on a key wears away that 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 be able to enter the lock.
This can be fixed by cutting a new blade according to. It is crucial that the blade is copied from the worn-out key and not a generic one as the latter will not give you the exact shape of the key and will continue to wear the same way. Your local Car Key Man auto-locksmith can provide you with a new blade to solve this frustrating problem.
Key Blade Damage
Quite often, the blade of the key gets damaged, or more accurately the'mouth' on the key begins to wear out. If the key is not removed quickly, it can become stuck in the lock. This can lead to the frequently-spread "Immobiliser fault" on your dashboard. There are numerous fairy tales on how to fix the problem, but in fact you need a new blade.
This is a relatively inexpensive task that can be completed by your local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They'll need to cut a new key blade and then attach it to your Peugeot 207.
A high-quality Peugeot flip key should last for five years or more before tiny hairline cracks begin to appear on the circuit board that creates the transponder chip's signal. These cracks don't affect the chip, but they can cause other issues for your Peugeot flip key.
One of the biggest issues with these Peugeot keys is that the flip mechanism - which holds the blade in place - isn't working very well. G28CarKeys is particularly applicable to the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 107 and Peugeot 407 models. This is due to the fact that this key's flip mechanism has been changed from the previous model, carbon-encased chips. This change has caused four major issues that can cause problems to your Peugeot key from working.
