Description
Product Overview
This comprehensive lock set is designed specifically for the Citroën Xsara Picasso, including driver and passenger door locks, fuel cap lock, ignition lock cylinder, and two matching keys. It is an ideal replacement for mechanics and car enthusiasts performing maintenance or repairs on this vehicle. The door locks included are currently immobile and might require some adjustment or freeing up during installation.
Usage and Application
The lock set fits various Citroën Xsara Picasso models that use the product codes 4162W5 and 4162S0. These locks play a critical role in vehicle security by preventing unauthorized access to the doors, fuel tank, and ignition. Regular wear or mechanical failure of locks can compromise the car’s safety and functionality, making timely replacement necessary.
Replacement Process
Replacing the locks is fairly straightforward. Begin by removing the old locks from the door panels, ignition switch, and fuel cap housing. Install the new locks by aligning them correctly and securing them in place. Ensure that the new keys operate smoothly with all installed locks. If door locks remain immobile, use appropriate lock lubricant and gently maneuver to restore movement.
Common Issues and Durability
Door locks may seize over time due to dirt accumulation, corrosion, or mechanical wear, which explains why the included door locks can be immobile initially. The ignition lock and fuel cap locks typically last longer but should be inspected regularly for wear signs. This kit provides reliable locking mechanisms to restore full security and convenience.
