|---|---|
| Types & variants | Petrol 1.2 VTi, 1.2 PureTech, 1.2 THP and 1.6 VTi / THP cars take a complete pressurised feed unit with sender, split between versions with an external fuel filter (Metzger 2250669 type) and an internal in-tank filter (Hüco 133594 type). Diesel 1.4 HDi, 1.6 HDi and BlueHDi cars use a sender unit with a low-pressure lift pump, covered by the Ridex 1382F0105 and Mapco 22332 (1.5 bar / 30 l/h). |
| Genuine (OE) numbers quoted | Metzger 2250669 is quoted against 9674467780; Meat & Doria 76385 against 3111137300. |
| Fitment notes | Check whether the car has an in-tank or external fuel filter before ordering a petrol module, because the two units are not interchangeable; the complete unit replaces the level sender as well. |
A Genuine, Documented Consumer Win Worth Knowing About — Peugeot 2008 Fuel Pump
If your high-pressure fuel pump fails and a dealer initially blames non-Peugeot servicing or the wrong oil, this is genuinely worth knowing: one owner took exactly this dispute to the ombudsman and won after a two-month fight, with the ruling confirming the fault was a known internal design issue — a non-return valve inside the pump failing and allowing high-pressure fuel to flow backward into the low-pressure side — rather than anything caused by aftermarket servicing. It's also worth knowing your genuine legal position here: a manufacturer cannot lawfully require you to have your car serviced exclusively by their own dealer network to keep the warranty valid, provided servicing is carried out to the correct specification using appropriate parts. If you're facing a similar dismissal, this is worth raising directly rather than accepting it as the final word.
Worth knowing if you're on a second or third replacement pump that's failed quickly each time: this can point to an underlying contamination issue in the fuel system rather than simply unlucky parts — insisting on a full fuel system check, not just another pump swap, is worth doing if a replacement fails again within a short time.

Rather than failing conveniently while parked, this component on the Peugeot 2008 tends to give up mid-journey, which is about the worst possible moment. Learning to recognise the early symptoms is the best defence against being caught out.

Peugeot 2008 Fuel Pump: What It Does
The Peugeot 2008's fuel pump function — pulling fuel from the tank and pressurising it for the engine — is straightforward, but its usual location isn't: it sits submerged inside the tank itself, which is precisely why access for replacement is more work than the part's size suggests.
Peugeot 2008 Fuel Pump: Generations & Engines: Fuel Pump Type
| Mk1 (2013–2019), 1.6 HDi diesel | Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump |
|---|---|
| Mk1/Mk2, 1.2 PureTech petrol | Petrol (direct injection): in-tank low-pressure pump plus a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump |
