Terry’s Locksmiths: Expert Services for the 1997-2003 Daewoo Lanos on the Gold Coast

For over 50 years, Terry’s Locksmiths has been a trusted name in the Gold Coast for all automotive locksmith needs. Our extensive experience includes working on a diverse range of vehicles, including the 1997-2003 Daewoo Lanos. In this blog, we’ll delve into our job history with the Daewoo Lanos, highlighting our expertise and the common issues associated with these models.

Our Work on the 1997-2003 Daewoo Lanos

1. Key Programming and Precoding

One of our notable jobs involved a 2001 Daewoo Lanos where all keys were lost. Locksmith Adam worked on this vehicle using a T300 with a Daewoo cable to program and precode the key. This model presented a unique challenge as it required precise programming with the DAE-3D.P1 Daewoo N-R Transponder Key DWO4R. In some rare cases, the 2001 Lanos can be a non-transponder vehicle, which simplifies key replacement compared to models with transponder systems. However, our team is well-equipped to handle both types.

2. Addressing Non-Transponder Issues

In instances where the Daewoo Lanos is a non-transponder model, such as the 2001 variant, we focus on straightforward key cutting and programming. For non-transponder vehicles, like the one in Job 56620, we provided an aftermarket turn key solution. This job was straightforward but required precise cutting and key coding to ensure proper functionality.

Common Issues with the 1997-2003 Daewoo Lanos

Ignition Problems:

The Daewoo Lanos from these years may experience ignition issues, such as problems with the ignition switch or lock cylinder. These issues can cause difficulty in starting the vehicle or even result in a complete failure to start. Our experienced locksmiths at Terry’s Locksmiths are adept at diagnosing and repairing ignition problems to restore reliable starting functionality.

Key and Lock Challenges:

For the 1997-2003 Daewoo Lanos, key-related issues can vary. Transponder keys are common in many models, requiring specialized programming and precoding. However, some 2001 models might be non-transponder, simplifying the key replacement process. Whether dealing with a transponder or non-transponder key, our team is skilled in handling these challenges with precision.

Door Lock Problems:

Door lock issues, such as mechanical failures or problems with the electronic locking system, are also common in the Daewoo Lanos. These issues can affect vehicle security and access.
