Description
This lock set is intended for Citroën C3 II vehicles produced between 2009 and 2016 within the PSA Group. The kit contains the ignition barrel, the fuel filler cap lock and two mechanical keys. Please Note: The driver door lock is not included in this kit.
Designed for professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts, the set supplies essential mechanical components to restore locking and ignition functions. The parts are suitable for addressing issues such as a key that will not turn in the ignition, a fuel flap that will not lock, or worn ignition tumblers.
Typical failure causes: normal wear of tumblers and wafers over many years, corrosion from moisture or road salt, broken or worn keys, ingress of dirt and ice. Electrical faults in the central locking system can mimic mechanical failures, so verify actuator and wiring integrity before replacing mechanical components.
Replacement And Installation Notes:
- Ignition Barrel: Disconnect the negative battery terminal before removing steering column covers. Remove the retaining screw and withdraw the barrel. Preserve the original key code where possible to avoid immobiliser reprogramming.
- Fuel Filler Lock: Access via the fuel filler opening or rear quarter panel. Remove retaining screws and replace the lock, ensuring correct alignment and smooth operation.
- Door Lock (General Advice): Replacing a door lock requires removing the door card, disconnecting linkage rods and the central locking actuator. For the driver side lock (not included), inspect rods and actuators for wear.
- Keys: Two mechanical keys are supplied. If the vehicle uses an electronic immobiliser or transponder, cutting and transponder programming may be required separately.
- Maintenance Tip: Lubricate moving parts with a graphite-based or silicone lubricant, avoid oil-based products that attract dirt.
