Peugeot 208 immobilizer issue

My 2023 Peugeot 208 diesel won't start. It's got almost 300k km on it, fires up for a second, then dies. The error memory shows an immobilizer error. Maybe key programming? Any ideas?

Sounds frustrating! I've got a 208 and had similar issues. Did you try your spare key? Is the remote start acting up? Mine did weird stuff before the engine started cutting out.

Tried the spare key, no luck. Same thing, starts for a split second then dies. The remote start isn't working either. What weird stuff was your remote start doing?

The remote start would work intermittently, then not at all, then the engine started doing what yours is doing. Sounds like the immobilizer. Workshop time. They can check the key programming and anti-theft system. Might save you a headache.

Okay, sounds like the workshop it is. Just got it back with a bill of 45€ to get the key reprogrammed. Thanks again!
