Key Blade Wobble
Peugeot decided to do something different in early 2000. Instead of the traditional type of carbon-encased transponder chips, they introduced a flip key design. Unfortunately, the new design came with several major issues among them principal ones is the key blade wobble. This happens when the key blade, which is basically the mouthpiece that goes into the lock first, wears out. This causes the silver button within the key to stop flipping the mechanism, and the key stops feeding in to the lock properly.

It is crucial that the blade is copied from the original worn-out key, and not a generic replacement, because this will not provide you with a proper shape and will continue to wear exactly in the same way as your original key did.

The flip mechanism that helps to keep the blade in its place, is not very reliable. This is especially true on the Peugeot Partner 107, 407 and 107 series.
