Application
Intended for Peugeot 206 models using the PSA 4162P0 code. Always verify fitment by comparing the product code and the physical connector/lock shape before installation. This unit is aimed at vehicles with a conventional (non-multiplex) electrical architecture.
Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
- Key difficult to turn, key sticks or will not fully rotate.
- No power to accessories in ignition positions or intermittent electrical supply when key is turned.
- Ignition does not engage or engine does not crank despite a good starter and battery.
- Steering lock does not release or key won’t extract from the cylinder.
Common Failure Causes
- Normal mechanical wear of tumblers and cylinder over time.
- Damaged or worn key that no longer properly actuates the tumblers.
- Contamination inside the cylinder (dirt, corrosion) causing binding.
- Internal switch contacts deteriorating, producing intermittent electrical connections.
Replacement & Installation
Basic replacement steps (for experienced technicians or skilled DIY):
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent short circuits or airbag deployment when working on the steering column.
- Remove steering column trim panels to access the ignition barrel and retaining fasteners.
- Disconnect any electrical connectors and remove retaining screws or clips securing the barrel assembly.
- Withdraw the old barrel, fit the new assembly in correct orientation and secure with the original fasteners.
- Reconnect electrical connectors, reassemble trim, reconnect the battery and test all ignition positions and steering lock operation.
Note: If the supplied key contains a transponder chip or the vehicle is equipped with an immobiliser, key coding or programming may be required for engine start. If unsure, consult a vehicle locksmith or authorised workshop. Installation time typically ranges from 30 to 90 minutes depending on access and vehicle equipment.
Maintenance And Durability
To prolong service life, avoid forcing a damaged key into the cylinder and keep the lock area free of heavy contamination and moisture. If keys show signs of wear, replace or cut a new key before it damages the new barrel.
