Key Features
- Full mechanical lock coverage: driver and passenger doors, fuel filler cap and ignition barrel.

- Searchable by product codes 4162RY and 4162Z4 for quick identification.
- Suitable for vehicles within the PSA group, primarily Citroën Xsara models; verify fitment with the codes before ordering.
Function And Common Failure Modes
The locks provide mechanical security and, for the ignition barrel, the mechanical operation of the steering lock and starter engagement. Typical causes of failure include wear of tumblers and cylinders, corrosion from moisture ingress, broken actuator linkages or seized mechanisms due to lack of lubrication. Door locks may also fail from impact damage or internal plastic component degradation on older vehicles.
Replacement And Installation Notes
Replacement generally requires removal of the interior door panel to access the lock mechanism and actuator. Typical steps:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal when working near the ignition barrel or electrical connectors.
- Remove door trim and protective moisture barrier to reach the lock assembly.
- Unbolt and disconnect the lock mechanism and any actuator rods or electrical connectors.
- Install the new lock set, reconnect linkage and test mechanical operation before reassembling the door.
Estimated workshop time: 30–90 minutes per door depending on experience and vehicle trim. You will typically need common hand tools (screwdrivers, trim tools, ratchet set) and a key cutting service. If the vehicle is equipped with an immobiliser/transponder system, the supplied key may require cutting and transponder programming by a qualified locksmith or dealer to operate the immobiliser and start the vehicle.
