Lost Keys
Peugeot is renowned for its premium automobiles. These cars have a robust security feature that impedes the unauthorised use of the vehicle.

Transponder Fault

The warning light will either flash or glow on the console if the immobilizer receives an unrelated code to the one it is expecting. This means that there is something wrong and you'll be required to take the vehicle to an Peugeot dealer to reset it and have the keys be reprogrammed.

If you've swapped the original Peugeot key case with another (and therefore lost the transponder chip) or damaged your key by getting it wet, it's nothing to be concerned about. Most immobilizer issues are caused by a dead battery, a damaged key antenna, or an electronic failure in the module and engine computer.
Key Blade Wobble
Peugeot decided to experiment with something new in the first 2000's. In the beginning of 2000, Peugeot introduced an alternative to the reliable type of transponder chip that is encased within carbon. The new design had its issues. One of the most problematic is the wobble of the key blade. This happens when the key blade which is basically the mouth part that is inserted into the lock first, wears out. The silver button inside the lock stops turning the mechanism, and the key won't feed into the lock.
It is fixable by cutting a new blade to code. It is crucial that the blade is copied from the original key, and not a generic replacement, as this won't give you a genuine shape and will wear exactly in the same way as your original key did. Your local Car Key Man auto-locksmith can offer you a new blade to resolve this problem.

The key blade or to be more precise, the "mouth' of the lock key will wear down. This could cause the key to become stuck inside the lock if it isn't removed as quickly as it should be. This could lead to the common 'Immobiliser Fail that appears on your dashboard. There are a lot of myths about how to fix this problem however the reality is that a new key blade is needed.
This is a relatively affordable task that can be accomplished by your local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They'll need to cut a fresh blade and then attach it to your Peugeot 207 key.
The circuit board that creates the signal for the transponder chip will begin to show tiny hairline cracks around five years. These cracks won't affect the chip, but they could cause other problems with your Peugeot key.
The flip mechanism, which holds the blade in place it isn't the most reliable. This is particularly in the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 107 and Peugeot 407 ranges. This is due to the fact that the key's "flip mechanism" has been upgraded from the previous model, carbon-encased chips. This has led to four major problems, all of which could block your Peugeot key from beginning your car.
