Key Blade Wobble Peugeot decided to do something different in the early 2000s. In the beginning of 2000, Peugeot introduced a flip-key design instead of the trusted transponder chip, which was enclosed in carbon. Unfortunately the new design had many major issues one of the most prominent is the key blade wobble. This issue happens when a key blade wears out it is the part of the key that gets into the lock. This causes the silver button within the key to stop flipping out the mechanism, and the key stops feeding into the lock correctly. It is, however, easy to repair using a brand new key blade, properly cut to code. It is vital that the blade be duplicated from your worn-out key and not a generic one, because the latter will not provide you with the true shape of your key, and will continue to wear the same way. Your local Car Key Man auto locksmith can fit you a new blade and fix this annoying problem. Key Blade Damage Quite often, the key blade is damaged, or more precisely the'mouth' key, wears out. This can cause the key get stuck inside the lock if it isn't removed in a timely manner. This then leads to the common 'Immobiliser Fail' on your dashboard. There are many fairy tales on how to fix this problem, but the truth is that a new key blade is required. This is a very affordable task that can be handled by your local Car Key Man Auto Locksmith. They'll have to cut a new key blade and attach it to your Peugeot 207. The circuit board which generates the signal for the transponder chip will begin to show tiny hairline cracks in the course of about five years. These cracks don't affect the chip, but they can cause other issues for your Peugeot flip key. The flip mechanism that holds the blade in place is not very reliable. This is especially true for the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 107 and Peugeot 407 models. This is due to the design of the key's flip mechanism is different from the old type, carbon-encased chips. This change has introduced four major problems, all of which could prevent your Peugeot key from activating your car.
