OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 986 580 215 / Hüco 132791

Accuracy note: Covers the Citroen C4 Picasso (2013-2018) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. In-tank fuel pumps are sold two ways: as a complete feed unit (the pump in its swirl pot with the fuel-level sender and float) or as a bare pump that is fitted into the old housing, and petrol and diesel versions are not interchangeable — most diesels have only a low-pressure lift pump in the tank, with the high-pressure pump on the engine. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Check fuel type, the plug pin count and whether your car has one sender or two (saddle tanks on 4x4 and some larger cars) against your VIN before ordering.

Fuel pumps / feed units (aftermarket)	Hüco 132791 (petrol feed unit with sender); Hella 8TF 358 303-111 (feed unit, 3 bar, 4-pin, 12 V, gasket included); Hella 8TF 358 146-231 (feed unit with sender, 4-pin); Bosch 0 986 580 215 (electric in-tank feed unit); Delphi FG1125-12B1 (feed unit, without gasket or pressure sensor); Astemo 2503338 (diesel feed unit, 2.5 bar); ERA 775443A (feed unit, 3 bar / 80 l/h, 4-pin); Ridex 1382F0342 (diesel in-tank feed unit with lever sender, 3.2 bar / 150 l/h, 4-pin, 182 mm)
Types & variants	Petrol THP and VTi cars use a 3 bar feed unit with sender (Hüco 132791, Hella 303-111); BlueHDi and HDi diesels use a lift-pump module with sender (Astemo 2503338, Ridex 1382F0342). Metzger 2250716 is a swirl-pot module sold without the sender for cars with the internal fuel filter and no parking heater. The Meat & Doria 77688 and 77687 units are the dearer late-type modules matched to specific PSA numbers. No bare in-tank pump is listed; a single rubber in-line pre-supply pump (Original Imperium 4018) is the only non-module item.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	Meat & Doria 77688 = 9806721580; Meat & Doria 77687 = 9800236180; Kamoka 8400078 = 1525KG.
Fitment notes	Petrol and diesel modules are not interchangeable. The two Meat & Doria OE numbers identify the later PSA modules, so check the number on the old unit before ordering a cheaper generic feed unit; the sender is built into most of these modules, so the gauge calibration follows the unit.

Worth Knowing: A Genuine Fuel Leak Fire Risk Confirmed on a Related Model — Citroen C4 Picasso Fuel Pump

Citroën confirmed a genuine safety recall on the C4 covering a fuel leak risk in the high-pressure hose between the high-pressure pump and the fuel rail, caused by loose nuts — this leak has been confirmed capable of causing a fire. If your car shares the same fuel system generation, it's worth checking whether this or a related recall applies to your specific VIN, particularly if you're planning any work near the fuel rail yourself.

A genuinely specific fitment trap worth knowing before ordering a replacement pump: high-pressure fuel pumps on this platform were supplied by two different manufacturers — Delphi and Bosch — and these aren't necessarily directly interchangeable between different engine variants. One documented case saw an owner order a pump from an online used parts seller, only to receive the wrong manufacturer's unit for their specific engine, discovering the mismatch only once the old pump was already removed. Always confirm the exact manufacturer and part reference matches your specific engine code via your VIN before ordering.

If you're chasing a genuine fuel pressure fault, real fault codes worth knowing include P0087 (fuel rail pressure too low) and P0088 (fuel rail pressure too high) — worth mentioning to whoever is diagnosing the car.

Citroen C4 Picasso Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

On the Citroen C4 Picasso, there's rarely a convenient time for this to fail — it tends to strike mid-journey rather than while the car's sitting safely on the drive. Knowing what the early symptoms look like buys valuable time to get ahead of it.

Before you buy: fuel pump specifications vary by engine size and fuel type, and petrol/diesel versions are never interchangeable. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Citroen C4 Picasso Fuel Pump: What It Does

The job here is simple in principle — draw fuel from the tank, deliver it to the engine at the right pressure — but the Citroen C4 Picasso's fuel pump sits submerged inside the tank, which makes physical access for replacement far more involved than the small part itself implies.

Accuracy note: these are documented patterns by generation and engine family, not a substitute for confirming your exact engine code — always verify against your V5C before ordering, since petrol and diesel pumps are never interchangeable.

All generations, 1.6/2.0 HDi/BlueHDi diesel	Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump
All generations, 1.2 PureTech petrol	Petrol (direct injection): in-tank low-pressure pump plus a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump
