Description
Product Overview
This ignition switch and fuel cap set, including one key, is designed primarily for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles, notably compatible with the Citroën C4. The product is frequently sought by both professional auto mechanics and car owners who prefer to perform their own repairs. Its versatility covers multiple models from PSA Group, ensuring a wide application range.
The ignition switch controls the electrical power supply to the vehicle, enabling the engine to start and run. Over time, components inside the ignition switch can wear out due to constant use and exposure to dust or moisture, resulting in issues such as difficulty turning the key or intermittent engine starting problems. The fuel cap maintains the integrity of the fuel system by preventing contamination and preserving vapor pressure, which is crucial for efficient fuel management and emission control.
Replacing this part typically involves removing the old ignition switch from the steering column and disconnecting any wiring harnesses, followed by installing the new unit and ensuring the key operates smoothly in both the ignition and fuel cap lock. It is advisable to check for synchronized lock functions or consider rekeying to match your current vehicle keys.
