Key Blade Wobble


Peugeot decided to try something different in early 2000. Instead of the stable type of carbon encased transponder chips they introduced a flip key design. The new design has its problems. One of the most serious is the key blade wobble. This issue occurs when the key blade which is essentially the mouthpiece that goes into the lock first, wears.
