Compatibility And Fitment
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.
Installation Recommendations
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Tools & 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.
- 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.
Most Common Failure Reasons
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.
Why Choose This Kit
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.
