Hi - have just bought an X-reg (2000) 406 Estate but the seller didn't have
the Confidential Card referred to in the manual. I'm not intending to use
Peugeot to service the car from now on but are the garage that I will use
likely to have an issue when, say, disconnecting the battery ?

Thanks

Peter

BTW - A Peugeot dealer has quoted me ?40 for a new card - does that seem
reasonable ?

just got a used 206 today - NO CARD, will contact seller tomorrow to
chase it up, just wondering if you got yours sorted, where and cost.

cheers for your time

What is the confidential card for? My wife has a 1998 306 and I have a 1999
406 and both have cards which have never been used and that includes me
fitting a new battery on the 306 last month. Both cars are serviced
regularly but, like I said, the cards have never been used. Anyone know
what it is for?

I believe it's for the keycode, ie. if you lose both your keys, you give
the main dealer the card (and write them a blank cheque), and they will
provide and 'program' one or more spare keys based on the code from the
concealed strip on the card, which is specific to your car.

And don't forget to thank them for the privilege of parting with ???s.

I think it is extremely nice of them to lighten my wallet so that it does
not strain me to carry it ;o)

Thanks for the explanation, that explains why I have never used it (yet!!).
