Description
Product Overview
This ignition lock cylinder and fuel cap set comes complete with 1 key, designed specifically for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. Primarily suited for the Citroën C4, it also fits a range of other models within the PSA group. It is an essential component ensuring secure access to the vehicle’s ignition system and fuel tank.
The ignition lock cylinder plays a critical role in starting the engine by enabling the transmission of the key’s mechanical code to the vehicle’s ignition system. Meanwhile, the fuel cap maintains the fuel system’s integrity by preventing unauthorized access and minimizing fuel evaporation.
Function and Replacement
Over time, ignition lock cylinders may wear due to frequent key insertion and turning, leading to difficulties in turning the key or starting the engine. Similarly, the fuel cap can become damaged or lose its sealing properties, risking fuel leakage or contamination. Replacing both together ensures consistent vehicle security and optimal performance.
Installation involves removing the old ignition lock cylinder—usually accessed through the steering column—by disengaging retaining clips and disconnecting electrical connections. The fuel cap simply unscrews for replacement. Both parts should be installed using the supplied key to guarantee proper synchronization.
