Key Blade Wobble
Peugeot decided to go for something new in the first 2000's. In G28 , the company introduced the flip-key model instead of the reliable type of transponder chip that is encased within carbon. The new design had its issues. One of the most problematic is the key blade wobble. This happens when the key blade wears down that is the part of the key that is inserted into the lock. This causes the silver button inside the key to stop allowing the mechanism to flip out the mechanism, and the key stops feeding into the lock correctly.
It is, however, easy to repair with a new key blade that is cut according to. It is essential that the blade be copied from the worn-out key and not a generic model, since the latter will not provide you with the true shape of your key and continue to wear the same way.

Key Blade Damage
Quite often, the blade of a key is damaged, or more accurately the'mouth' of the key, starts to wear out. This could cause the key get stuck inside the lock if it's not removed as quickly as it should be. This could lead to the dreaded 'Immobiliser Fault which appears on your dashboard. There are numerous fairy tales about how to fix this problem, but in fact you need a new blade.

The circuit board that creates the signal for the transponder chip is likely to show tiny hairline cracks after around five years. These cracks won't affect the chip but they do cause other problems with your Peugeot key.
The flip mechanism, which helps to keep the blade in its place, is not very reliable. This is particularly true for the Peugeot Partner 107, 107 and 407 ranges. This is because the structure of this key 'flip' mechanism has changed from the previous type, carbon-encased key. This change has brought about four major issues that may prevent your Peugeot key from working.
