Key Blade Wobble

Peugeot decided to try something new in the first 2000's. Instead of the traditional type of carbon-encased transponder chips they introduced a flip key design. The new design did not come without its problems. One of the most significant is the wobble of the key blade. This happens when the key blade which is basically the mouth piece that goes into the lock first, wears. This causes the silver button within the key to stop flipping out the mechanism, and the key stops feeding into the lock in a proper manner.

The flip mechanism that holds the blade in place isn't very reliable. This is particularly true for the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot 107 and Peugeot 407 models. This is because the structure of this key 'flip' mechanism has changed from the previous model, a carbon-encased chip. This change has brought about four major issues, all of which could prevent your Peugeot key from opening your car.
