Renault Twingo Fuel Pump: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

If diesel, a genuinely severe, well-documented HPFP fault on the 1.5 dCi — with real, dramatically varying quotes (£1,300-£3,500+ dealer vs ~£1,200 independent).

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Hüco 132722 / Pierburg 7.00468.26.0

Accuracy note: Covers the Renault Twingo (Mk3 2014-) 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 132722 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); Hüco 133588 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); Hüco 133535 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); Hüco 133265 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); Pierburg 7.00468.26.0 (feed unit with sender, 3.5 bar, 13.5 V / 8 A, 2-pin, 185.5 mm long); Hüco 133302 (bare pump, petrol, 3.6 bar); Hüco 133330 (feed unit, petrol, 3.5 bar); Hüco 133356 (feed unit, petrol, 3.1 bar)
Types & variants	This is a petrol-only range (0.9 TCe and 1.0 SCe), which is why Hüco lists so many variants: four complete modules with sender (132722, 133588, 133535, 133265) plus two feed units without sender (133330 at 3.5 bar, 133356 at 3.1 bar) and one bare pump (133302 at 3.6 bar). The Pierburg module at 3.5 bar is the complete swirl-pot unit. Vemo V46-09-0024 is a 3.5 bar module with sender on a 134 mm flange. Original Imperium 4018 is a rubber-bodied 8 mm pre-supply pump.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	142504 (Kamoka 8410016)
Fitment notes	The rear-engined Twingo III shares its fuel system with the Smart ForFour, and the range of Hüco numbers reflects the different TCe and SCe tank setups, so the engine code and year both matter. A bare pump at 3.5-3.6 bar can be fitted into the old housing; the complete module is needed when the level sender has failed. No diesel Twingo III was built.

A Genuinely Severe, Well-Documented Fault on the 1.5 dCi — And a Real Cost Comparison Worth Knowing — Renault Twingo 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 Twingo Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

This is one of the more inconveniently timed failures the Renault Twingo can have — it tends to strand drivers mid-journey rather than politely failing while the car's parked on the drive. Recognising the early warning signs buys real time to sort it before you're stuck somewhere inconvenient.

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 Twingo Fuel Pump: What It Does

Delivering fuel from the tank to the engine at the correct pressure for combustion is the Renault Twingo's fuel pump's whole job. It lives inside the tank itself, submerged in fuel, which is exactly why replacing something this small is a more involved job than it looks.

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.

Mk1/Mk2 (1993–2014), petrol	Petrol: typically a single in-tank low-pressure pump; some later or higher-output variants may add a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump for direct injection — confirm your exact engine
Mk3 (2014–present), rear-engined, shared with Smart ForFour	Petrol: typically a single in-tank low-pressure pump; some later or higher-output variants may add a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump for direct injection — confirm your exact engine
