i took my key to be cut. the man took the chip out and cut a new key and put the chip back in. now it opens the doors but the car won't fire up. it say error code. has he mucked up my chip:cry:
 
it was a blue key that had broke. my punto is a punto elx 8v. 2000 model. petrol 1242cc
 
right well that makes it code 2 rolling code

the codes in your keys are changed every time you turn the ignition on with them

if the lock smith made a direct copy of your key when you try the new key it will change the code in it and the matching code in the body computer

therefore when you try the key he made the new one from it's code is now irrelevant you may as well chuck the old broken key it is now worthless there nothing you can do with it
