OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 986 580 215 / Pierburg 7.07795.69.0

Accuracy note: Covers the Citroen C5 Aircross (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)	Pierburg 7.07795.69.0 (electric in-tank feed unit, 5 bar, single connector); Hella 8TF 358 106-181 (feed unit with sender, 4-pin, gasket included); Bosch 0 986 580 215 (electric in-tank feed unit); Delphi FG2386-12B1 and Delphi FG1010-12B1 (feed units, without gasket or pressure sensor); ERA 775105A (in-tank feed unit with filter, 5 bar, 4-pin); ERA 775181A (feed unit, 3.5 bar / 90 l/h, 4-pin); Ridex 1382F0022 (feed unit with sender and filter, 3.5 bar / 100 l/h, 4-pin); Ridex 1382F0012 (diesel feed unit with sender, 0.5 bar / 140 l/h, 4 connectors)
Types & variants	The 5 bar Pierburg and ERA 775105A units suit the direct-injection PureTech and THP petrols, the 3.5 bar Ridex and ERA 775181A units are the lower-pressure petrol modules, and the Ridex 1382F0012 at 0.5 bar is the diesel lift-pump module for BlueHDi cars. Metzger 2250716 is a swirl-pot module without sender. Two pre-supply pumps are listed, Fispa 81.483 and Meat & Doria 9537. Nothing is sold as a bare pump.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	Kamoka 8400075 = 1525Q5; Kamoka 8400078 = 1525KG; Kamoka 8400031 = 1110332; Meat & Doria 9537 (pre-supply pump) = 1579FG.
Fitment notes	Match the pressure rating to the engine, since the direct-injection petrols need the 5 bar unit and the diesel only a low-pressure lift pump. Plug-in hybrid versions share the petrol module. The Delphi units come without the seal ring and without a pressure sensor, so the old ones are reused.

Worth Knowing: A Genuine Fuel Leak Fire Risk Confirmed on a Related Model — Citroen C5 Aircross 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 C5 Aircross Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

On the Citroen C5 Aircross, 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 C5 Aircross 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 C5 Aircross'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.

2018–present, 1.5/2.0 BlueHDi diesel	Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump
2018–present, 1.2 PureTech petrol	Petrol (direct injection): in-tank low-pressure pump plus a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump
