Renault Kadjar Fuel Pump: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults
On the Kadjar, if diesel, a genuinely severe HPFP fault on the 1.5 dCi comes with real, dramatically varying quotes worth knowing.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 580 204 046 / Hüco 132765
| Fuel pumps / feed units (aftermarket) | Hüco 132765 (complete feed unit with sender, diesel); Astemo 2502765 (complete feed unit with sender, diesel); Hüco 132758 (complete feed unit with sender, diesel); Astemo 2502758 (complete feed unit with sender, diesel); Hüco 133252 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); VDO 2803580314302 (tank pump, petrol); Hella 8TF 358 304-061 (feed unit with sender, 4-pin); Bosch 0 580 204 046 (bare in-tank pump) |
|---|---|
| Types & variants | The Kadjar range is Hüco and Astemo list two diesel modules each (765 and 758 suffixes are the same units under the two brand names), with only Hüco 133252 and the VDO unit covering petrol. Metzger 2250684 is a 6-pin module with sender. The Bosch bare pumps (0 580 204 046, 0 580 203 373) are the in-tank cartridges without housing or sender. The Pierburg 7.21440.51.0 at 0.3-0.4 bar is a pre-supply pump. |
| Genuine (OE) numbers quoted | 170404EA0A (Meat & Doria 77576 and Metzger 2250684); 170429F500 (Meat & Doria 76416); ERA 770162A lists repair kit 770162 |
| Fitment notes | The 1.5 and 1.6 dCi diesels use a lift-pump module in the tank rather than a high-pressure feed unit, so diesel and petrol modules are not interchangeable; a bare Bosch pump can be fitted into the original housing, but the diesel modules are more often replaced complete because the level sender is integrated. The 170404EA0A OE number is shared with the Nissan Qashqai, which this platform is built on. |
A Genuinely Severe, Well-Documented Fault on the 1.5 dCi — And a Real Cost Comparison Worth Knowing — Renault Kadjar Fuel Pump
If your car has the 1.5 dCi diesel engine, particularly an early example, this is genuinely worth understanding given how consistently and severely it's documented: the rollers inside the high-pressure fuel pump can disintegrate, sending metal filings throughout the entire fuel system — the rail, all the injectors, and the associated pipework. This is confirmed across numerous independent forum threads as a known, recognised fault among mechanics familiar with this specific engine.
It's worth getting a second opinion and a specialist assessment of exactly what's failed before accepting the most expensive quote as the only option — while genuine metal contamination throughout the system does sometimes require the full replacement, it isn't automatically true in every case.
Renault Kadjar Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments
On the Renault Kadjar, few component failures are as inconveniently timed as this one — it has a habit of stranding drivers mid-journey rather than giving a clean warning while the car is safely parked. Knowing the early signs buys valuable time to get it sorted before that happens.

Renault Kadjar Fuel Pump: What It Does
The Renault Kadjar's fuel pump draws fuel from the tank and delivers it to the engine at the pressure required for proper combustion. Almost all modern versions sit inside the fuel tank itself, submerged in fuel, which is partly why access for replacement is more involved than the part's small size might suggest.
Renault Kadjar Fuel Pump: Generations & Engines: Fuel Pump Type
| 2015–2022, TCe petrol | Petrol (direct injection): in-tank low-pressure pump plus a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump |
|---|---|
| 2015–2022, 1.6/2.0 dCi diesel (R9M) | Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump |
| 2015–2022, 1.5 dCi diesel (K9K) | Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump |
