Lost Keys
Peugeot is renowned for its top-quality automobiles. These cars are equipped with an extremely secure security feature that stops unauthorized use of the vehicle.

You will need to know the PIN code for your vehicle in order for obtaining an additional key. This can be a headache especially if you are in a position with only a short amount of time to wait for the locksmith to arrive.
Transponder Fault
The immobilizer system on your Peugeot 207 verifies that the key you used to start your vehicle is the one that it expects. It does this by transmitting an indication from the microchip embedded in your key to the ignition switch via an antenna. This is a security feature designed to safeguard your vehicle from being stolen.
The warning light will flash or illuminate on the console if the immobilizer is receiving an unrelated code to the one it anticipates. This indicates that there is an issue and you might need to take your car to a Peugeot dealer to reset it and have the keys reset.

There's usually no need to worry unless you accidentally swapped the original Peugeot key case for another (and lost the transponder), or if you damaged your key after it was wet. The most common problems with the immobilizer system are due to a low battery in the key, a damaged antenna, or an electronic malfunction within the module and engine computer.
Key Blade Wobble
Peugeot decided to do something different in the early 2000s. Instead of the stable type of carbon-encased transponder chips, they introduced the flip key design. Unfortunately the new design had many major issues and one of the most prominent is the key blade wobble. This problem is caused when the blade of the key, which is basically the mouthpiece that goes into the lock first, wears. This causes the silver button inside the key to stop flipping the mechanism and the key ceases to feed into the lock correctly.
This is easily fixed by re-cutting the blade to match. It is crucial that the blade is copied from the original worn out key, not a generic replacement since it won't give you a true shape and will wear in exactly the same manner as your original key did. Your local Car Key Man auto locksmith will be able to fit you with a new blade and fix this frustrating issue.
Key Blade Damage
Quite often the key blade is damaged, or more precisely the'mouth' of the key begins to wear out. This could cause the key get stuck inside the lock if it's not removed in a timely manner. This can cause the common "Immobiliser fault" on your dashboard. There are G28 about how to fix this issue, but in the end 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 simply need to cut a new blade and attach it to the Peugeot 207 key.
The circuit board which generates the signal for the transponder chip begins to show tiny hairline cracks after about five years. These cracks aren't affecting the chip but can cause other issues with your Peugeot key.
One of the most significant issues with these Peugeot keys is that the flip mechanism that keeps the blade in place - isn't very effective. This is especially relevant to the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 107 and Peugeot 407 ranges. This is due to the layout of this key's flip mechanism has been changed from the original type, carbon-encased key. This has resulted in four major issues that could stop your Peugeot key from working.
