Peugeot car key extortion!

Saffie1984

Bought a little Peugeot 108 from a dealer. No second key. This month lost the key and now quoted over £2,500 for replacement! Surely these cars shouldn’t be sold unless there is a second key? Can anyone help?

Or perhaps they shouldn't be bought without a second key.

Join a Peugeot forum, you will probably find a cheap way to replace the key.
Call a local auto locksmith and get a quote as well.

The problem is you have lost the master key and it will need re-coding.

Good luck

Rac and no, it!!!8217;s not included!

Did you get the keycode card when you bought the car? presumably the dealer says they cant obtain the code and are planning on replacing keys, locks and BCM.

If I were you I'd cross post you rinitial enquiry on http://www.peugeotforums.com

Well actually I doubt the £2500 is for a replacement key. It's more likely for a whole new set of locks, ECU reprogramming and then the cost of a set or replacement keys and programming.

Has she tried claiming off her insurance, either car or house?

Previous owner should be on the log book. Long shot, but try contacting them to see if they still have a spare.
