Renault Scenic Fuel Pump: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

On the Scenic, a genuinely severe HPFP fault on the 1.5 dCi comes with real, dramatically varying quotes — one case was fixed for just £100 rather than thousands.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 580 203 318 / Hüco 133171

Accuracy note: Covers the Renault Scenic (Mk4 2016-) 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 133171 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); Bosch 0 580 203 318 (in-tank feed unit); Magneti Marelli 313011300018 (in-tank pump, diesel, 4 bar / 180 l/h, 12 V / 10 A); Meat & Doria 76416 (bare pump, 3 bar / 95 l/h); Meat & Doria 76385 (bare pump, 3.5 bar / 90 l/h); ERA 770171A (bare pump, 4 bar / 140 l/h, 2-pin, 52 mm body, 9 mm pipe); Delphi FE0545-12B1 (bare pump, 112.6 mm long, 38 mm body)
Types & variants	The Scenic IV shares its fuel system with the Megane IV, so the same Hüco 133171 petrol module and Bosch 0 580 203 318 appear here. Only one complete module with sender is listed; the rest are bare in-tank cartridges at 3-4 bar for the petrol TCe engines and the Magneti Marelli diesel pump for the dCi. 3RG 82005 is a pre-supply pump with 10 mm ports.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	170429F500 (Meat & Doria 76416 and Hoffer 7506416); 3111137300 (Meat & Doria 76385 and Hoffer 7506385); ERA 770171A lists repair kit 770171 and ERA 770162A lists repair kit 770162
Fitment notes	Petrol cars use a swirl-pot module with the level sender built in; diesel cars use a low-pressure lift pump. A bare pump fits into the old housing on petrol cars, which is the cheaper repair if the fuel gauge still reads correctly, but a faulty sender means the complete Hüco module.

A Genuinely Severe, Well-Documented Fault on the 1.5 dCi — And a Real Cost Comparison Worth Knowing — Renault Scenic 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.

A genuinely dramatic, real cost comparison worth knowing before accepting any quote: Renault dealer quotes for the full repair have been documented ranging from £1,300 up to £3,500 or more. However, independent specialists doing the genuinely equivalent job (flushing the tank, lines, and rail rather than replacing every single component) have quoted around £1,200. In one genuinely striking documented case, the actual fault turned out to be a small, specific piece within the pump's cap alone, repaired for around £100 in parts and two hours of labour.

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 Scenic Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

On the Renault Scenic, 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.

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.

Renault Scenic Fuel Pump: What It Does

The Renault Scenic'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 Scenic Fuel Pump: Generations & Engines: Fuel Pump Type

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.

Mk2/Mk3 (2003–2016), petrol (K4M/F4R/TCe)	Petrol (direct injection): in-tank low-pressure pump plus a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump
Mk4 (2016–2022), TCe petrol	Petrol (direct injection): in-tank low-pressure pump plus a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump
All generations, 1.5 dCi diesel	Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump
