Description
Product Overview
This comprehensive lock set is designed specifically for Citroën C3 II models manufactured between 2009 and 2016. It includes essential locking components such as door locks (except the driver’s door lock), fuel cap lock, ignition lock cylinder, and is supplied with two matching keys. This set is ideal for professional mechanics and car enthusiasts performing repairs or replacing worn or malfunctioning locks.
Function and Application
The lock set ensures the security and proper functioning of your vehicle’s locking system. Door locks secure the vehicle’s cabin from unauthorized access, while the fuel cap lock prevents fuel theft and tampering. The ignition lock cylinder plays a critical role in vehicle start-up and anti-theft protection by controlling the ignition switch operation using the supplied keys.
Driver door locks may fail due to wear, mechanical damage, or corrosion, leading to difficulties with locking or unlocking and compromising vehicle security. Replacing the lock set restores the integrity and safety of your vehicle’s locking mechanism.
Replacement and Maintenance Information
Installing this lock set involves removing the interior door panels, disconnecting the defective locks, and fitting the new components in place. The ignition lock cylinder can be replaced by accessing the steering column and removing the old cylinder before installing the new one with the keys. Fuel cap locks are fitted directly onto the fuel filler.
Regular maintenance of locks includes lubrication of mechanical parts to prevent sticking and checking keys for wear. Typical lifespan depends on usage and environmental exposure but generally should last several years unless exposed to harsh conditions or physical damage.
