Peugeot 207 is one of the most sought-after automobiles on the road. It's a small car that has a lot of character and fashion.

Over time they could develop some problems. If they are not addressed promptly the issues can turn very grave.

It can be expensive and difficult to replace the car key, particularly when it was stolen.

Lost Keys

Peugeot is a car brand which is well-known for making high-quality vehicles. They have a strong security system that prevents unauthorized use of the vehicle. The system uses the transponder chip, which is encrypted with a unique number of characters. This allows the immobilizer to recognize the right key and start the engine. This helps prevent thieves from stealing Peugeot keys.

In case you have lost your car keys, an auto locksmith expert can help. They'll cut you a spare key in your area. In addition, they can program the new key to work with your Peugeot's immobilizer and lock barrels. This is a cheaper option than going to an dealer.

For the majority of models it is possible to get an additional Peugeot key is relatively simple (except for 107,108 and Bipper). You'll need the PIN code of your vehicle to acquire the new key. This can be a hassle particularly if you have only a short period of time to wait for a locksmith.

Transponder Fault

The immobilizer feature on your Peugeot 207 verifies that the key you used to start your car is the one it expects. It does this by transmitting an electronic signal from the microchip inside your key to the ignition switch using an antenna. This is a security feature that was designed to safeguard your vehicle from being taken.

The warning light will blink or flash on the console if the immobilizer is receiving an unrelated code to the one it expects. This means that something is wrong and you may have to surrender the vehicle at an Peugeot dealer, along with your registration card and identification document, in order to reset the system and the keys reprogrammed.

If you bring your key to a garage that provides this service, they will examine it and determine if the transponder is defective. This service is free and they'll inform you that your Peugeot will not start because of a fault with the system.

There is generally no need to worry unless you have accidentally swapped the original Peugeot key case for another (and lost the transponder), or if you damaged your key when it got wet. The most frequent problems in the immobilizer mechanism are caused by a weak battery in your key, a damaged antenna, or an electronic malfunction within the module and the engine computer.

Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to try something different in the beginning of 2000's. Instead of the dependable kind of carbon encased transponder chips, they introduced a flip key design. The new design was not without its difficulties. One of the most serious is the wobble of the key blade. This happens when a key blade wears out that is the part of the key which goes into the lock. This causes the silver button within the key to stop flipping out the mechanism, and the key ceases to feed into the lock properly.

This can be fixed by a new blade that is cut to match. It is crucial that the blade be copied from your worn key and not a generic model, as the latter will not give you the exact shape of your key, and will continue to wear in the same manner. Your local Car Key Man auto-locksmith can offer you a new blade to fix this problem.

Key Blade Damage

Quite often the key blade gets damaged, or more precisely the'mouth' of the key, wears out. This could cause the key to become stuck inside the lock if it isn't removed in a timely manner. This could result in the frequently-spread "Immobiliser fault" on your dashboard. There are a myriad of fairy tales about how to fix the issue, but in actual the need for a new blade is evident.

This is a relatively cheap task that can be performed by your local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They'll have to cut a new blade and attach it to your Peugeot 207 key.

A good Peugeot flip key will last for around five years before tiny hairline cracks begin to appear on the circuit board that creates the transponder chip signal. These cracks don't affect the chip, but they could cause other issues with your Peugeot key.

One of the biggest problems with the Peugeot keys is that the flip mechanism, which holds the blade in place isn't very effective. This is especially relevant to the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 107 and Peugeot 407 models. This is due to the fact that the key's flip mechanism has been changed from the older type with carbon-encased chips. This modification has caused four major issues, each of which could prevent your Peugeot key from beginning your car.
