VA2 blade keys
Older Peugeots, including the 107, used the VA2 profile, a slim blade cut on a dedicated machine. I cut these at the vehicle.

Peugeot keys explained
The BSI and Your Peugeot Key
At the centre of a modern Peugeot sits the BSI, short for Built-in Systems Interface. It is the body computer that runs the central locking, lighting and many other functions, and it also plays a part in the immobiliser. The electronic engine immobiliser locks the engine control system a few moments after the ignition is switched off, and only a key with the correctly coded chip releases it. A new key therefore has to be paired with the car before it will start the engine.
That pairing usually needs a security code. On many older Peugeots the code is printed under a protective film on the confidential card supplied with the car, which holds the identification code needed for work on the system. On later models the equivalent information can often be obtained from the car itself with professional diagnostic equipment. You can find out more about how I work before you call.
Lost the confidential card?
If the card was never passed on when you bought the car, that is not the end of the road, because on many models I can obtain the code from the vehicle. If you do still have it, keep it somewhere safe away from the car. It can make future key work simpler, and it should never be left in the glovebox where a thief could find it along with the car.
Peugeot key types
Blades, Flip Keys and Keyless Fobs
Peugeot has used several blade profiles and remote styles over the years. The registration and a quick photo of the key are usually enough for me to bring the right one.
HU83 flip keys
Many later Peugeots, including versions of the 208, 308, Partner and Expert, use a flip key with the HU83 blade, a laser cut profile that folds into the remote head.
Boxer van keys
The Boxer shares its key design with its Italian built sister vans, using the SIP22 blade rather than the usual Peugeot profiles.
Fixed blade remotes
Some Peugeot cars and vans use a fixed blade with buttons in the head, a design that avoids the flip mechanism altogether.
Keyless electronic keys
With keyless entry and starting, you unlock at the handle and start with the button. The fob holds an integral key for the door, and there is a back-up reader for starting when the fob battery is flat.
City car keys
The 108 was built alongside a Toyota city car and uses a Toyota style TOY48 blade, so its key is unlike other Peugeots of the same age.
Peugeot models
Peugeot Models I Replace Keys For
Peugeot key designs can vary within a single model name, as the 208, 308 and 3008 have each been through more than one generation. This is a general guide, and I confirm the exact key from your registration.
Not listed? I also work on the 206, 207, 307, 407, 508, Bipper and other Peugeot models, depending on year and system.
| Model | Usual key types | What I can do |
|---|---|---|
| 107 and 108 | VA2 blade remote on the 107, Toyota style key on the 108 | Key cutting, coding and remote pairing |
| 208 | Flip key on many, keyless on some higher trims | Flip key replacement, spares and all keys lost |
| 2008 | Flip key or keyless fob depending on year and trim | Key programming, spares and lockouts |
| 308 | Flip key on many, keyless on some later cars | Replacement keys, remote repairs and BSI pairing |
| 3008 | Flip key or keyless fob depending on generation and trim | Keyless fob supply, spares and all keys lost |
| 5008 | Flip key or keyless fob depending on generation and trim | Replacement and spare keys |
| Partner and Rifter | Flip key on many, keyless on some later versions | Van and car key replacement and spares |
| Expert | Flip or fixed blade remote key, keyless on some later vans | Van key replacement and lockouts |
| Boxer | Remote key with a SIP22 blade | Van key replacement, spares and ignition repairs |
Peugeot services
Peugeot Locksmith Services at Your Vehicle
Each service below is carried out at your Peugeot, at home, at work or at the roadside. My services pages cover every one in more detail.
Car Key Replacement
A new Peugeot key cut to the HU83, VA2 or correct profile, paired to the car and tested with the remote.
Car key replacementLost Car Keys
No Peugeot keys at all. I open the car without damage, obtain the security code, make a new key and stop the missing keys working where possible.
All keys lostCar Lockout
Keys locked inside a 208 or 3008, or a keyless Peugeot that will not open. Non-destructive entry every time.
Vehicle entrySpare Car Keys
A second key while your first still works, which keeps the job simple and avoids an all keys lost visit later.
Spare keysKey Fob Programming
Remote buttons that do nothing, or a fob that has fallen out of step with the car. Checked, reprogrammed or replaced on site.
Fob programmingIgnition Barrel Repair
On turn key Peugeots and the Boxer, a key that sticks or will not turn can point to barrel wear, repaired at the vehicle.
Ignition repairsFleet Auto Locksmith
Spare keys and repairs for firms running Partner, Expert and Boxer vans, planned around your working day.
Fleet workVan Key Replacement
Partner, Expert, Rifter and Boxer keys cut and coded on site, so a working van is not off the road for long.
Van keysWarning signs
Clues That a Key Is About to Fail
A Peugeot key can give a warning before it lets you down. Watching for these signs means you can arrange a spare on your own terms.
Flip blade not springing out
The blade opens slowly, only part way, or flops loose. Wear in the flip mechanism can end with a blade that will not lock open at all.
Buttons worn or soft
The rubber over the buttons has split, or they need a hard press. Worn buttons or switches inside can stop the remote locking the car.
Remote out of step
The car no longer responds to the remote. Reinitialising the remote can help, and if that does not work the key may need reprogramming.
Car dead to the key
No response to the fob and no start. This can be the key, but a BSI fault can show the same symptoms, which is why I test before replacing anything.
Key sticking in the ignition
On older turn key Peugeots and Boxer vans, a key that binds can point to wear in the blade or the barrel.
Step by step
How a Visit Works
This is the usual order of work from your first message to handing over the key.
Registration first
Your Peugeot’s registration tells me the model, year and which key it takes. The free GOV.UK vehicle check shows the same basic details.
Ownership checks
I see the V5C and photo ID before cutting a key. If the logbook is lost, you can get a replacement V5C through GOV.UK.
Security code and pairing
I cut the blade, obtain the security code from the confidential card or from the car, and pair the new key with the BSI.
Final tests
I test starting, locking, the remote buttons and the flip or keyless functions before handing the key over.
Pricing
Factors Behind Your Quote
I do not quote one price for every Peugeot, as a 107 key and a keyless 3008 fob are very different jobs. Once I know the vehicle, you get a fixed quote before I travel.
Get a fixed quoteModel and generation
The 208, 308 and 3008 have each changed key design between generations, which affects the part and the procedure.
Blade and remote type
A fixed blade remote, an HU83 flip key and a keyless fob each cost a different amount to supply.
Security code availability
Having the confidential card can simplify coding. Without it, the code is obtained from the car, which can take longer.
Keys remaining
Adding a spare to a working key is simpler than an all keys lost job, where the car has to be opened and coded from scratch.
Security waiting periods
On some later Peugeots, the car can enforce a waiting period before a new key is accepted, which adds time on site.

Questions
Peugeot Key Replacement Questions
If your question is not covered, contact me with your Peugeot’s registration and I will help.
Can you replace a Peugeot key with no keys left?
Yes, for most Peugeot cars and vans. I open the vehicle without damage, cut a new blade from the lock and pair a new key using the security code. Some of the newest Peugeot keys may only be available through a Peugeot dealer; I will tell you straight away if your car is one of them.
What is the Peugeot confidential card for?
It is a card supplied with many Peugeots that holds a security code under a protective film. It contains the identification code needed for work on the system, such as adding keys. Keep it somewhere safe, away from the car.
I do not have the confidential card. Is that a problem?
Not usually. On many Peugeots I can obtain the code from the car with diagnostic equipment. It may add a little time, which I build into the quote.
My Peugeot flip key blade will not stay open. Can it be repaired?
Often, yes. If the chip and circuit board are sound, the flip mechanism or case can sometimes be replaced and the blade recut. If the electronics are damaged, I supply a new flip key and pair it to the car.
Can you program a keyless Peugeot fob?
Yes. I supply and program keyless fobs for models such as the 208, 2008, 3008 and 5008, including cutting the integral key for the door lock.
Do you replace Peugeot van keys?
Yes, for the Partner, Expert and Boxer, as well as the Rifter. There is more detail on my page about van key replacement.
Why will my Peugeot not respond to any key?
It may be the key, but it can also be the BSI or a flat vehicle battery. I test the key and the car before recommending anything, so you are not sold a key you do not need.
Do you offer a warranty on Peugeot keys?
Yes. Every key I supply has a 12 month warranty, and I accept card, bank transfer or cash.
Stuck Without a Working Peugeot Key?
Send the registration and a photo of your key, or just ring. I will give you a fixed price and an arrival time straight away, at any hour.
