Peugeot 308 Fuel Pump: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults
A genuine ombudsman-won consumer case confirms a known internal pump design flaw — plus a real cost-saving tip: the identical part is available considerably cheaper from a BMW dealer.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 986 580 195 and 0 986 580 226 / Hüco 133475
| Fuel pumps / feed units (aftermarket) | Hüco 133475 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol, 3.5 bar); Hüco 133596 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); Hüco 132725 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); Hüco 133339 and 133129 (complete feed units, petrol); Bosch 0 986 580 195 and 0 986 580 226 (complete in-tank feed units); Metzger 2250682 (in-tank feed unit with sender, 4-pin, internal filter); Metzger 2250716 (in-tank swirl pot without sender, 4-pin, internal filter, no parking heater); ERA 775181A (feed unit, 3.5 bar / 90 l/h, 4-pin) |
|---|---|
| Types & variants | Petrol 1.2 PureTech, 1.6 THP and 1.6 VTi cars take a 3.5 bar module with sender; the two Bosch numbers and the several Hüco numbers reflect engine and build-year splits. Diesel 1.6 HDi, 1.6 BlueHDi and 2.0 BlueHDi cars use a swirl pot and sender with a lift pump only, which the Metzger 2250716 covers when the sender is reused. |
| Genuine (OE) numbers quoted | Kamoka 8400078 is quoted against 1525KG. |
| Fitment notes | Complete modules are the normal fitment on the T9; a swirl-pot-only replacement is the cheaper route when the gauge is reading correctly, and the parking-heater versions use a different unit. |
A Genuine, Documented Consumer Win Worth Knowing About — Peugeot 308 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 (debris in the tank or filter re-contaminating each new pump) 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.
Peugeot 308 Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments
On the Peugeot 308, few faults pick a worse moment to happen than this one, which has a habit of leaving drivers stranded mid-journey rather than failing safely at home. Catching the early signs gives you a genuine head start before that happens to you.

Peugeot 308 Fuel Pump: What It Does
On the Peugeot 308, fuel reaches the engine at the pressure combustion needs thanks to the fuel pump, which draws it straight from the tank. It sits submerged inside the tank itself, and that positioning is a big part of why replacement takes more effort than the part's size would suggest.
Peugeot 308 Fuel Pump: Generations & Engines: Fuel Pump Type
| T7 (2007–2013), 1.4 VTi petrol & 1.6 HDi diesel | Spans both diesel (in-tank lift pump plus an engine-mounted high-pressure pump) and petrol (in-tank low-pressure pump, plus a separate high-pressure pump if direct-injection) variants — confirm your exact engine before ordering |
|---|---|
| T9 (2013–2021), 1.6 THP petrol, incl. GTi (2015–2018) | Petrol (direct injection): in-tank low-pressure pump plus a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump |
| T9 (2013–2021), 1.2 PureTech petrol | Petrol (direct injection): in-tank low-pressure pump plus a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump |
| T9 (2013–2021), 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 |
| Current gen (2021–present), 1.2 PureTech petrol | Petrol (direct injection): in-tank low-pressure pump plus a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump |
