With dealer-level diagnostics and stock of genuine-quality blanks and remotes, we get you going without the delay of a main dealer. Learn more about our end-to-end car key replacement Uxbridge.
Citroën Key Programming And Diagnostics
Modern Citroën keys contain a transponder chip that talks to your car’s immobiliser. If it isn’t programmed correctly, the engine won’t start. We handle:
- Transponder and remote key programming
- Smart/proximity key programming for push-to-start models
- ECU/immobiliser pairing, OBD2 diagnostics, and EEPROM solutions for certain platforms
- Remote central locking repair and coding
For a deeper look at our capabilities, see our dedicated car key programming service.
Non-Destructive Vehicle Unlocking
Locked out of your Citroën? Our technicians use specialist picks and air wedges designed for automotive locks to open your vehicle without damage, wherever possible. If extreme circumstances require drilling or replacement (very rare, typically after severe damage or a prior attempted theft), we’ll explain options before any work.

Van And Commercial Citroën Locksmith
We support Citroën vans such as the Berlingo, Dispatch, and Relay, including fleet coverage. Services include spare keys for drivers, remote fob repair, non-destructive entry, and ignition/lock repairs that keep your commercial vehicle working. Explore our van and commercial locksmith solutions.
Our Process: Simple, Transparent, Mobile
-
Call us or request a callback
We’ll confirm your Citroën model, year, and the problem you’re facing. If you’ve lost all keys, we’ll also ask for proof of ownership and ID to keep your vehicle secure. -
We come to you
A fully equipped mobile locksmith arrives at your home, workplace, or roadside in Uxbridge or anywhere across UB postcodes. We bring dealer-level diagnostic tools and key-cutting equipment to complete the job on site. -
We fix the issue and test thoroughly
Whether we’re creating a new key, programming a smart fob, unlocking the vehicle, or repairing an ignition, we test all functions—remote lock/unlock, immobiliser handshake, and start/stop—before handing back the keys.
Technical Expertise For Citroën Keys And Immobilisers
Citroën vehicles use various immobiliser systems across model years. Our team is trained on:
- OBD2 key programming for compatible models
- EEPROM key programming where direct memory access is required
- ECU/immobiliser programming and synchronisation
- Laser-cut and high-security key profiles used on newer Citroën platforms
- Key blade replacement and flip key repair for common Citroën remotes
A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser. If the chip isn’t recognised, the car won’t start—no matter how the blade turns. We identify the correct transponder type, program it securely, and verify that your Citroën starts and the remote functions work as expected.

Citroën FAQs
Can you make a Citroën key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key from your Citroën’s lock or via secure diagnostic programming. We’ll need proof of ownership and ID. For more on replacement options, see our dedicated car key replacement Uxbridge page.
My Citroën key fob isn’t working—do I need a new one?
Not always. Sometimes it’s just a dead battery or a fob that’s lost sync. We test the fob, replace batteries where needed, repair buttons, and reprogram the remote. If the transponder is faulty or the housing is damaged, we’ll advise the most cost-effective fix. You can also visit our guide to key fob not working.
Will you damage my Citroën to unlock it?
Our approach is non-destructive wherever possible. We use specialist tools and techniques to open the vehicle cleanly. If a lock is already damaged or a prior theft attempt has affected the mechanism, we’ll explain any necessary exceptions before work begins.
Can you program a Citroën smart key for push-to-start?
Yes. We handle smart key programming, immobiliser pairing, and testing for “key not detected” issues. Our equipment supports OBD2 programming and EEPROM methods where required.
What if my Citroën key snapped in the ignition?
Do not force it. We provide broken key extraction using precision tools, repair or replace the key blade, and inspect the ignition barrel. If the barrel is worn, we can carry out on-site ignition repair and replacement. See more under car lock and ignition issues.
How long does it take to get a new Citroën key?
It varies by model and key type. Many Citroën keys can be cut and programmed the same day at your location. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when you call.
