Replacing a car key with certain kinds of vehicles can be a costly and stressful, especially when the car has been stolen.

This makes it difficult for thieves to make use of stolen Peugeot keys.

A professional auto locksmith is able to help you if you lose your car keys. They will come to your location and cut you a brand new spare car key. They can also program the key to use Peugeot's immobilizers and lock barrels. This is a less expensive option than going to a dealer.

However, you'll need to know the PIN code for your vehicle to learn how to make a new key. This can be a pain especially if there is only a short period of time to wait for a locksmith to arrive.

Transponder Fault

The immobilizer in your Peugeot 207 verifies the key you used to begin the car is the right one. 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 prevent your car from being taken.

If the immobilizer control unit receives a code from your key that is different to the code it's expecting, it will illuminate the warning light on the console or flash rapidly. This indicates that there is an issue and you will have to take the car to a Peugeot dealer to reset the unit and have the keys be reprogrammed.

If you take your key to a garage offering this service, they can read it and tell whether the transponder has a problem. They can do this for free and tell you whether the chip is working properly or if it is a problem elsewhere in the system that is stopping your Peugeot from beginning.

If you've swapped the original Peugeot key case with another (and consequently lost the transponder chip), or you have damaged your key because it was wet, there's usually nothing to worry about. The most common problems with the immobilizer system are caused by a weak battery in the key, a broken antenna, or a malfunctioning electronic within the module and engine computer.

Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to test something new in the early 2000's. In the early 2000's, Peugeot introduced a flip-key design instead of the reliable type of transponder chip that is encased within carbon. The new design did not come without its issues. One of the most serious is the wobble of the key blade. This problem occurs when the blade of the key, which is basically the mouth piece that goes into the lock first, wears out. peugeot spare key causes the silver button inside the key to stop allowing the mechanism to flip out the mechanism, and the key stops feeding into the lock in a proper manner.


Fortunately, this is a simple issue to repair with a new key blade, properly cut according to. It is vital that the blade is copied from the original worn out key, not a generic replacement, since this will not give you a genuine shape and will continue to wear in exactly the same manner as the original key did. Your local Car Key Man auto locksmith can install a brand new blade and solve this issue.

Key Blade Damage

The blade of the key, or to be more precise, the'mouth'' of the lock key, is prone to wear out. If the key is not removed as quickly as it should, it could become stuck in the lock. This leads to the dreaded 'Immobiliser Fault appearing on your dashboard. There are many fairy tales about how to fix this issue, but in the end the need for a new blade is evident.

This is a very cheap task that can be accomplished by your local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They'll need to cut a new blade and put it on your Peugeot 207.

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

One of the main issues with the Peugeot keys is that the flip mechanism, which keeps the blade in place - isn't working very well. This is particularly relevant to the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 107 and Peugeot 407 models. This is due to the fact that this key's "flip mechanism" has been upgraded from the previous model that was carbon-encased. This change has introduced four major issues, all of which could stop your Peugeot key from starting your car.
