Description
Product Overview
This Ignition Lock Cylinder and Fuel Cap set with 1 key is a genuine replacement part suitable for various Citroën and Peugeot vehicles, primarily designed for PSA Group models such as the Citroën C4. It ensures secure engine starting and fuel tank access, combining two essential locking mechanisms in one package.
Function and Importance
The ignition lock cylinder is a critical component that enables the driver to start the engine securely; it houses the key mechanism that communicates with the vehicle’s immobilizer system. The fuel cap secures the fuel tank opening, preventing unauthorized access and maintaining proper fuel system pressure. Both parts are commonly replaced together to maintain consistent locking security using a single key.
Compatibility and Application
This product fits the Citroën C4 and is compatible with other related Citroën and Peugeot models sharing the same PSA platform. It typically replaces factory-installed ignition and fuel caps that may wear out over time due to frequent use, key wear, or mechanical failure. Regular inspection is advised, as a faulty ignition lock cylinder can cause starting issues, while a damaged fuel cap might trigger fuel odor or check engine lights.
Installation Guidance
Replacing the ignition lock cylinder usually involves removing the steering column covers and disconnecting electrical connectors to gain access. The fuel cap simply replaces the existing cap with a secure twist lock mechanism. It is recommended to synchronize keys for both parts to ensure a single key operates both locks, simplifying usage and improving convenience.
