Second Hand Peugeot 208 Fuel Injector

The Peugeot 208 first generation ran from 2012 to 2019, so both years sit within the same generation, which is a good starting point. Fitment depends primarily on the engine code rather than the year alone — two 208s from different years sharing the same engine code are far more likely to be compatible than two from the same year with different engines. Give your engine code (from your V5 or a VIN check) to the breaker so they can match it precisely, as injector specifications can vary between engine variants even within the same generation.

The first-generation 208 received a facelift in 2015, but for mechanical parts like fuel injectors the engine code is what matters, not whether the car is pre- or post-facelift. If the donor and recipient cars share the same engine code, the injector is likely to be the same unit, and the facelift distinction on its own is largely irrelevant to fitment. Confirm the specific part number against your registration with the breaker to be safe, as minor ancillary or rail changes can sometimes occur mid-production.

Yes, fuel type is absolutely critical — petrol and diesel injectors are entirely different components operating on different systems (port or direct injection for petrol, high-pressure common rail for diesel), and they are not interchangeable under any circumstances. You must match the injector to your exact fuel type and engine code, so always supply both when requesting a quote from a breaker. Getting this wrong means the part will not fit and could cause serious engine damage.

No, the trim level does not affect injector fitment — Active, Allure, GT Line, and other 208 trims are not distinguished by their fuel injection components. What matters is the engine code, which is shared across trim levels where the same engine is fitted. Focus on matching the engine code and fuel type rather than the trim badge when sourcing a used injector.

Yes, all Peugeot 208 engines have fuel injectors — both petrol and diesel variants use them, though the type differs significantly between the two. Petrol engines use lower-pressure injectors (port or direct injection depending on the engine), while diesel engines use high-pressure common rail injectors that operate under much greater pressure and are a different design entirely. Make sure you specify your engine code and fuel type when asking for a quote so the breaker supplies the correct type for your vehicle.

The gearbox type does not directly affect the fuel injector itself, so in most cases an injector from an automatic 208 will be the same part as one from a manual, provided the engine code matches. The injector is an engine component and its specification is determined by the engine, not the transmission. That said, always confirm the engine code match with the breaker, and be aware that ECU or immobiliser coding questions are worth raising with a specialist, as these can sometimes be relevant when fitting used injectors.
