Citroën Key Blanks We Cut

Citroën has used several different key blades over the years, and the right blank depends on the model and the year. Getting this detail right is what makes a new key turn smoothly in the door and the ignition. Here are the main Citroën key blades our auto locksmiths work with:

SX9. Used on older Citroën models such as the Saxo, Xsara, Xsara Picasso, Xantia, Synergie, early Berlingo, early Dispatch and the first C5.

VA2. A very common Citroën blade, found on the C1, C2, C3, C3 Picasso, C3 Pluriel, C4, C4 Picasso, C6, DS3, DS4 and the Berlingo Multispace.

HU83. Used on many newer Citroën models, including the C3 from 2016, the C3 Aircross, C4 Cactus, C4 Picasso, C4 Grand Picasso, C5 from 2008, C5 Aircross, C8, Dispatch, Jumpy, Spacetourer and the latest Berlingo.

SIP22 and GT10. Found on the Relay, Jumper and Nemo, which share their key with Fiat and Peugeot vans.

TOY48 and MIT11R. The C1 from 2014 uses a Toyota style TOY48 blade, while the C-Crosser, C-Zero and some C4 Aircross models use the Mitsubishi MIT11R blade.

The full table of Citroën models, years and key blanks is further down this page. The information comes from our trade supplier's application list. It is correct at the time of writing but may not be exhaustive, so if your model is not shown, call us and we will check.

Citroën Transponder Key Programming

Almost every Citroën built since the late 1990s uses a transponder key. A small chip in the key head talks to the immobiliser. If the chip is not programmed to the car, the engine will not start, even if the blade turns the ignition.

That is why a Citroën replacement key needs two jobs done properly. The blade is cut to the lock, then the transponder and remote are programmed to the vehicle. Our technicians carry professional programming equipment and complete both on site. You do not need to visit a dealer, and you do not need to wait days for a key to be ordered in.

We work with standard transponder keys, remote flip keys and the remote keys used on most current Citroën cars and vans. If you are not sure what type of key your Citroën has, send us the details over the phone and we will tell you.

Lost Citroën Car Keys

Losing every key to your Citroën is a stressful problem, but it is one we solve all the time. You do not need the original key. Our technician cuts a new key to your lock, programmes it to the immobiliser and makes sure the old keys can no longer start the car.

This is a real advantage over a dealer. A dealer will usually need the vehicle recovered to their site, then order a key and book a time. We come to your location and get you back on the road, often in a single visit.

Have your V5C logbook and some ID ready when we arrive. We always check that the person asking for a key has the right to the vehicle. It protects you and it protects the next customer.

Citroën Vans: Berlingo, Dispatch and Relay

Citroën vans are everywhere in Essex and London, working for trades, couriers and small business owners. When a van key fails, the cost is not just the key. It is the lost job, the lost time and the customers waiting.

We prioritise van drivers because we know time off the road costs money. We cover the Berlingo, Dispatch, Relay, Nemo and Jumpy, as well as the Spacetourer people carrier. We can cut a spare van key, programme a new remote, or fit additional van locks to protect your tools.

Common Citroën Lock and Key Problems

Most Citroën key issues fall into a few familiar groups. Knowing which one you have helps us bring the right parts first time.

Worn or Broken Flip Key Blades

Citroën remote flip keys get heavy use. The blade can wear, bend or snap. We can cut a new blade and transfer or replace the remote so the key works as one again.

Remote Fob Not Working

If a new battery does not fix the remote, the fob may need programming or replacing. We test it, then supply and programme a replacement where needed.

Car Will Not Start

A key that turns but will not start the engine often points to a transponder problem. We can diagnose the issue and programme a new key to the immobiliser.

Citroën Key Prices and No Call Out Fee

Our pricing is simple. We charge no call out fee, and we give you a fixed quote over the phone before any work begins. The price we quote is the price you pay.

The cost of a Citroën key depends on the model, the year, the key blank and whether you need a remote. A basic transponder key costs less than a remote key, and a spare key costs less than a lost key job. Call us with your details and we will give you a clear price.

Many customers call us after receiving a dealer quote. Because we have none of the overheads of a main dealer site, our prices offer real value for the same quality of key.

Emergency Citroën Lockout Assistance

A Citroën lockout is rarely planned. Keys left on the seat, a fob that has died, or someone in the family who has driven off with the only spare. If you need emergency assistance, call us and our nearest technician will come to you.

We unlock the vehicle without damage, using non destructive entry methods every time, and give you access to the car again as quickly as possible. Every lockout service call should end the same way: the car is open, the area is safe and you can get on with your day. That is the peace of mind our customers are paying for.

What if the lock itself is damaged?

If a lock has been damaged by an attempted break in, we will tell you honestly whether a new key, a repair or a rekey is the right answer before any work is agreed.
