Cheap Peugeot 408 Coil Pack

Only the petrol-engined Peugeot 408 variants have coil packs — diesel engines use a different ignition system (glow plugs rather than spark-based ignition) and do not have a coil pack at all. If your 408 is a petrol, it will have individual ignition coils or a coil pack depending on the specific engine fitted, so check your engine code on your V5 or via a VIN check before searching. Diesel 408 owners looking for ignition-related parts should be looking at glow plugs or their glow plug control module instead.

The Peugeot 408 Mk1 ran from 2010 to 2014, with a facelifted Mk1 from around 2014 onwards into the mid-2010s, so a 2013 and a 2016 car sit either side of that facelift boundary. Whether the coil pack crosses that boundary depends primarily on the engine code — if both cars share the same engine code (for example both running the same 1.6 petrol unit), fitment is more likely, but you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration as ancillary and mounting changes can occur mid-production. Supply your engine code from your V5 to the breaker to get the most accurate match.

Trim level makes no difference to coil pack fitment on the Peugeot 408 — Active, Allure, and GT are all cosmetic and equipment distinctions, not mechanical ones. What matters is the engine code, which should be identical across trims fitted with the same engine. Just confirm your engine code with the breaker and ignore the trim badge entirely when sourcing this part.

The 1.6 petrol 408 was offered with variants of the Prince-family engine, but the exact engine code (visible on your V5 logbook under 'engine number' or obtainable via a VIN check) is the definitive detail to use rather than relying on engine size alone. Different states of tune or emission standards within the same 1.6 family can mean different ignition components, so always quote the full engine code to the breaker. This is the single most useful piece of information you can supply when getting a quote on a used coil pack.

Because PSA Group engines were shared widely across Peugeot, Citroën, and other brands, a coil pack from a 308 or C4 fitted with the same engine code as your 408 may well be compatible. The engine code is the key — if it matches exactly, the ignition components are typically the same regardless of which badge is on the bonnet. Always confirm with the breaker that the engine codes align before purchasing, as even minor variants within a family can differ.

Coil packs themselves are generally passive components and do not typically require coding to the vehicle's ECU in the way that some electronic modules do. However, you should confirm with the breaker whether any ignition-related coding or immobiliser considerations apply to your specific engine variant, as this is not something that can be stated as fact across all configurations. A breaker familiar with PSA petrol engines will be best placed to advise based on your registration.
