Citroen transponder key re-casing

Recommended Posts

Anybody know where I can get my transponder key re-cased or even if it's possible? The electronic bit works alright but the plastic buttons have disintegrated - is it possible just to put a new top on the key?

I agree, Ebay is probably best bet.

 

When you dismantle it though, check there's no transponder chip located in the old fob. So many people miss this little part and throw it away

Lol lol lol were you stood watching me searching through the wheely bin lol. I tested the button function put the key in the ignition turned it. The fans started. The radio came on so I thought that was it lol. 2 days later when I needed the car everything came on it was trying to start just no fuel seemed to get through. Moral of the story put the transponder chip in lol lol

To top it all off only use the car once in a blue moon I probably wouldn't have used it for a month it's only that I decided to nip to Asda after work the bin would've been emptied and then it would have cost me an arm and a leg! It is only because a friend of mine took the key apart at work and said you've not put the transponder chip in lol.
