					<description><![CDATA[Stellantis Citroën Peugeot
4162AH 4162AG]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lock set &#8211; Driver&#8217;s door, fuel filler flap and ignition barrel plus two keys. The key may not have remote control buttons.</p>
<p>This complete lock kit is designed for fast replacement of worn or damaged locks on Citroën models. It includes the door lock for the driver&#8217;s side, the fuel filler flap lock and the ignition barrel together with two keys (keys may be blank or without remote buttons). Ideal for workshops and experienced DIYers looking to restore mechanical security and reliable starting functionality. Common search terms include the product codes 4162AH and 4162AG, as many technicians and owners look up parts by reference number.</p>
<p>The set replaces the mechanical locking components responsible for securing the vehicle and allowing the key to start the engine. Replacing the worn locks reduces the risk of lock jamming, broken keys in the cylinder and fuel cap theft. Keys supplied usually need cutting to match your vehicle; if the vehicle uses a transponder immobiliser, the transponder must be present in the key or reprogrammed to restore engine start functionality.</p>
<h3>Technical Information</h3>
<ul>
<li>Manufacturer: Stellantis (Citroën / Peugeot)</li>
<li>Model: Citroën C2, Citroën C3, Citroën C3 Pluriel</li>
<li>Product Codes: 4162AH, 4162AG</li>
<li>Additional Numbers: 4162AH/4162AG</li>
</ul>
<h3>Installation Recommendations</h3>
<p>Installation is straightforward for a trained mechanic and feasible for skilled DIYers with basic tools. Follow these general steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>Disconnect the vehicle battery before working on the ignition barrel to avoid electrical shorts or unintended airbag/immobiliser triggers.</li>
<li>For the driver&#8217;s door lock: remove the inner door trim, detach window/lock linkages and remove the fixing screws or rivets securing the lock. Fit the new lock, reconnect linkages and test mechanical operation before reassembling the door panel.</li>
<li>For the fuel filler flap lock: open the filler flap, remove any retaining screws and replace the lock module, checking the flap operation and seal.</li>
<li>For the ignition barrel: remove the steering column covers, release the retaining screw or clip, withdraw the old barrel and install the replacement. Ensure the ignition switch positions work correctly and reconnect the battery only after confirming mechanical fit.</li>
<li>Have the keys cut precisely and, if necessary, ensure transponder programming is performed when required by the vehicle’s immobiliser system.</li>
<li>Use graphite or lock-specific lubricant for the tumblers; avoid wet oils that attract dirt.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Why This Part Fails</h3>
<p>Locks and ignition barrels fail for several common reasons: mechanical wear of tumblers and wafers from long-term use, corrosion and water ingress (especially in older cars or in damp climates), broken or worn key teeth, vandalism or forced entry attempts, and deterioration of plastic components and linkages. Lack of lubrication and accumulation of dirt can accelerate wear and cause sticking or jamming.</p>
<h3>Notes For Buyers</h3>
<p>Searches by the product codes 4162AH and 4162AG are common—if you have those numbers matching your part, this kit is likely the replacement you need. Keys supplied may not include remote buttons; remote functions and key programming are not included with the mechanical lock set. If you are not experienced with steering column or door disassembly, we recommend professional installation to ensure safe and correct operation.</p>

4162AG 4162AH]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lock set &#8211; driver&#8217;s door, fuel filler cap and ignition lock cylinder plus 2x key. Key may not have remote control buttons.</p>
<p>This complete lock set is designed for Citroën models and provides a cost-effective solution for replacing worn or damaged locking components. The kit includes the driver-side door lock, fuel filler cap lock and ignition lock cylinder together with two keys (keys may be standard and may not include remote buttons). Ideal for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics, this set is often sought by part number 4162AG / 4162AH and improves vehicle security and convenience after installation.</p>
<p>Benefits: easy replacement of multiple locks at once, single-keyed set for convenience, OEM-compatible fit for specified Citroën models, and reduced downtime compared with sourcing individual components.</p>
<h3>Technical Information</h3>
<ul>
<li>Manufacturer: Stellantis (Citroën / Peugeot)</li>
<li>Model: Citroën C2; Citroën C3; Citroën C3 Pluriel</li>
<li>Product Codes: 4162AG, 4162AH</li>
<li>Other Numbers: Commonly referenced under the same codes 4162AG / 4162AH</li>
</ul>
<h3>Function And Common Faults</h3>
<p>The set performs three functions: securing the driver door, locking the fuel filler flap and enabling vehicle start/immobiliser operation via the ignition lock cylinder. Typical causes of failure include mechanical wear of tumblers and keys, corrosion from moisture ingress, broken plastic components inside the lock assembly and worn key profiles. Electrical faults related to remote fobs are separate—note that supplied keys may not include remote control buttons.</p>
<h3>Replacement And Installation</h3>
<p>Basic replacement overview for experienced mechanics or competent DIYers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Prepare: Gather trim removal tools, Torx/screwdriver set and penetrating lubricant. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on the ignition cylinder to avoid short circuits.</li>
<li>Door Lock: Remove the door card to access the lock mechanism, disconnect linkage rods and electrical connectors (if present), remove retaining bolts, swap the lock cylinder and reassemble, checking latch operation and link adjustments.</li>
<li>Fuel Filler Lock: Access the filler lock either through the inner wing/boot lining or by opening the filler flap; remove fasteners, install new lock and test release mechanism.</li>
<li>Ignition Lock Cylinder: Remove steering column covers, ensure steering wheel lock is disengaged, remove retaining screw(s) and withdraw the old cylinder with the key in the release position, install the new cylinder and reassemble. Verify ignition positions and immobiliser response before reconnecting the battery.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Installation Recommendations</h3>
<ul>
<li>Use light graphite or dedicated lock lubricant on new cylinders and keys; avoid oily lubricants that attract dirt.</li>
<li>Check and clean linkages and actuators when replacing locks to prevent premature wear.</li>
<li>Test all functions (door locking, fuel flap release, ignition turn/start) before final reassembly.</li>
<li>If unsure about ignition cylinder removal or immobiliser behaviours, seek professional workshop assistance to avoid immobiliser faults.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Why The Part Most Commonly Fails</h3>
<p>Locks and cylinders are exposed to mechanical stress and environmental factors. Repeated use causes tumbler wear and key profile degradation. Moisture and salt (road conditions) accelerate corrosion, seizing moving parts. Forced entry attempts or vandalism can also damage lock housings and linkages. In ignition cylinders, broken keys or internal plastic/component wear are frequent failure modes.</p>
<p>When searching for this item, use product codes 4162AG or 4162AH to increase the chance of finding the exact match for Citroën C2/C3 applications.</p>

4162AG 4162AH 4162CR
Door lock slightly sticks but functions]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Set of locks for Citroën C2, C3, C3 Pluriel<br />Driver&#8217;s door lock, fuel filler cap lock and ignition barrel plus 2 keys<br />Door lock slightly sticks but works</p>
<p>This complete lock set is a practical replacement kit for Citroën C2, C3 and C3 Pluriel vehicles. It includes the driver&#8217;s door lock mechanism, the fuel filler cap lock and the ignition barrel delivered with two matching keys. The kit restores locking function and vehicle security in one purchase — ideal for workshops and experienced DIYers who need a matched set and original-style operation.</p>
<h3>Technical Information</h3>
<ul>
<li>Manufacturer: Stellantis (Citroën / Peugeot)</li>
<li>Model: Citroën C2, Citroën C3, Citroën C3 Pluriel</li>
<li>Product Codes: 4162AG, 4162AH, 4162CR</li>
<li>Other Numbers: Not Specified</li>
</ul>
<h3>Compatibility And Fitment</h3>
<p>Designed for the listed Citroën models — check the part codes (4162AG / 4162AH / 4162CR) against the vehicle to confirm matching lock types and key profile. The kit replaces the driver door lock, the fuel flap locking unit and the ignition barrel as a set, ensuring the supplied keys operate all three components together.</p>
<h3>Installation Recommendations</h3>
<ul>
<li>Door Lock: Remove the interior door panel and disconnect the linkage rods and electrical connectors (if fitted). Unscrew the retaining bolts and withdraw the lock mechanism from the door. Reassemble in reverse order, checking rod alignment and latch operation before refitting the door panel.</li>
<li>Ignition Barrel: Remove lower and upper steering column covers, insert the key and turn to the accessory position to release the retaining pin or screw. Extract the barrel and install the new barrel, ensuring steering lock and electrical connections are re-engaged correctly.</li>
<li>Fuel Filler Lock: Open the filler flap, remove the retaining screws or clips and slide out the lock barrel. Fit the new unit and reattach the retaining hardware, verifying smooth operation of the flap and locking mechanism.</li>
<li>Tools &amp; Tips: Use appropriate Torx and Phillips bits, trim removal tools for panels and a small pick for clips. Lightly lubricate moving parts with graphite or a suitable non-gumming lubricant; avoid oil-based lubricants inside ignition barrels.</li>
<li>Recommendation: Installation is suitable for professional mechanics and experienced DIYers. If unsure about airbag or steering column disassembly, consult a workshop manual or a professional.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Most Common Failure Reasons</h3>
<p>Lock mechanisms commonly fail due to wear, internal corrosion, dirt ingress or broken plastic components in the latch or barrel. Ignition barrels wear over years of use and can develop sticky tumblers, which explains the slight sticking noted for the driver door lock in this unit. Mechanical damage from forced entry or broken key remnants are other frequent causes. Regular lubrication of external moving parts and keeping seals intact reduces corrosion risk.</p>
<h3>Why Choose This Kit</h3>
<p>Buying a matched lock set with keys simplifies replacement and avoids key-matching issues. The kit restores both function and security for the driver door, fuel filler and ignition, saving workshop time compared with sourcing separate components. The included product codes make it easy to find this exact item among spare part listings.</p>

4162FP 4162EA]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lock set &#8211; driver&#8217;s door, fuel flap and ignition barrel plus 1x key for Citroën C2 and C3 from 2005</p>
<p>This complete lock set is designed for Citroën C2 and Citroën C3 vehicles from 2005 and offers a practical, ready-to-install solution for mechanics and experienced DIYers. Supplied as a matched set including the Driver&#8217;s Door Lock, Fuel Flap Lock and Ignition Barrel together with one key, it simplifies replacement jobs and helps restore vehicle security and convenience. Relevant part numbers 4162FP and 4162EA are commonly used in searches, making this item easy to find for workshop technicians and parts managers.</p>
<h3>Key Benefits</h3>
<p>&#8211; Complete set covering door lock, fuel flap latch and ignition barrel—reduces the need to source multiple components.<br />&#8211; Supplied with one key for immediate use; ideal for rekeying or matching to existing lock cylinders.<br />&#8211; Familiar OE references (4162FP / 4162EA) improve findability in catalogues and search engines.</p>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>Driver&#8217;s Door Lock: Mechanical latch and tumbler mechanism that secures the door and interacts with the central locking system. Fuel Flap Lock: Latch mechanism that holds the fuel filler flap closed and unlocks with the vehicle key or central locking signal. Ignition Barrel: Cylinder that accepts the key to operate ignition and lock steering column depending on vehicle equipment. Together these components restore physical locking function and key operation.</p>
<h3>How To Replace</h3>
<p>General approach for experienced technicians or competent DIYers. Always follow vehicle manufacturer procedures and safety precautions.</p>
<ul>
<li>Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal before any work on locks or the ignition barrel to avoid short circuits and spurious electrical activation.</li>
<li>Driver&#8217;s Door Lock: Remove the door trim and water shield to access the lock mechanism. Disconnect linkage rods and electrical connectors (if central locking actuator present). Remove retaining bolts and extract the old lock. Fit the new unit, reattach linkages, test mechanical function and central locking before refitting trim.</li>
<li>Fuel Flap Lock: Access usually from inside the wheel arch or by removing relevant trim panels. Unscrew or unclip the latch, replace with the new lock and verify operation with the supplied key.</li>
<li>Ignition Barrel: Remove steering column covers, turn key to release position and extract retaining clip (method depends on model). Withdraw the barrel and replace with the new unit. Reassemble covers and verify that ignition, steering lock and key removal positions operate correctly.</li>
<li>Final Check: Confirm that all locks operate smoothly, that the key turns without excessive force and that central locking (if fitted) locks/unlocks all doors and fuel flap properly.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Installation Recommendations</h3>
<p>&#8211; Use appropriate trim tools to avoid damage to interior panels.<br />&#8211; Apply a light graphite or dry lubricant to the keyway and locking mechanism; avoid heavy oils that attract dirt.<br />&#8211; If components are stiff, check for alignment of striker plates and door hinges before forcing the lock.<br />&#8211; Test the complete set before final reassembly of trims to ensure correct mechanical and central locking operation.</p>
<h3>Why This Part Fails</h3>
<p>Common causes of lock and barrel failure include normal wear of tumblers and cams, corrosion from moisture ingress, mechanical damage from forced operation or broken linkages, and dirt/debris accumulation inside the keyway. Ignition barrels can also wear due to frequent key use or from using damaged keys. Replacing the entire set often resolves multiple related faults and restores reliable locking function.</p>
