It was not an orihinal one but much like the chinese one i already had. Except that it had the coil-chip thingy, middle button for lights instead of trunk and no recess for the citroen logo. Of course i had to mix the pieces to get the logo

Well done, wasn’t so bad was it!

I’ve lost my blade yesterday the only one.
Somehow fell off the hinge or pivot whatever.
The locksmith cut the new blade with code asked from Citroen but the blade doesn’t open the lock mechanically. It works on the ignition but when turning engine off it feel a bit stiff.

Two possibilities really.

The door lock barrels are actually different to the ignition. This would imply that both have been changed though.

The door lock barrel tumblers have seized up due to lack of use. This is quite likely as people just don't lock their cars manually nowadays.

Question: Did the door barrels work with the old key? Or did you just never use them that way?
