306 Alarm

My 306 has recently been leaking through ariel and damaged the alarm
reciever that catches the signal from the key. can i just get one from
another peugeot or do i have to get the key and reciever curcuit
assigned?
cheers

 

You can get a receiver from any 306 and then code the keys to the
receiver yourself, as long as the keys are the infra-red type (red
light on the plips). You do know how to code them in??

 

No i dont know how to code the key in. It is an infra red one and i
only have the one key. I can see the water damage on the circuits
around the sensor and it removes easily. I get mixed views, some
people say i can just replace it and it only catches the signal and
elsewere in car decides if its correct, other people say that the
circuit itself decides if the frequency from the key is correct in
which case i need the key n reciever to be matched. if i get another
cercuit how do i asign the 1 key i have to it?

 

Assuming you have the two button plip:-
Take the screw out of the plip and pull the key out of the plip. Put
the key in the ignition and turn to the accessory position. You may
need a pair of pliers to make it easier to turn the key in the
ignition. Within 10 seconds hold the plip as close as possible to the
receiver and press the large button until the red light stops
flashing. (Either stays red or goes out, I can't remember which now)
Then turn the ignition off, and try the plip. You may have to repeat a
couple of times.
If you have the single button type, then you will have to get a key
already coded to the receiver from the dealer. (Loads of money and
about 5 weeks to get from France. You will need the code number from
the receiver) OR go to a scrappy and get a receiver and single button
key(s).

key. im gonna try a scrapy like trents for both a key and matching
reciever. any online places u know of? also will it effect the engine
