Second Hand Peugeot 408 Fuel Pump

Yes, all Peugeot 408 variants have at least one fuel pump, because every version of the 408 uses a petrol or diesel internal combustion engine — there is no pure-electric 408 variant sold in the UK market that would omit a conventional fuel pump entirely. Petrol engines use a low-pressure in-tank pump to feed the fuel system, while diesel engines use a high-pressure injection pump in addition to an in-tank lift pump, so the type of pump you need depends entirely on your fuel type and engine. Make sure you know which pump you are looking for before approaching a breaker.

These are two completely different generations of car — the first-generation 408 (2010–2014) is a saloon-based model on a separate platform, while the second-generation 408 (2022 onwards) is a fastback-SUV on the EMP2 platform — and they share no meaningful mechanical commonality. The engine codes, fuel system architecture, and pump designs are entirely different between the two generations, so a first-gen pump will not cross over to a second-gen car. Always quote your registration and engine code to the breaker so they can source the correct unit for your specific generation.

The engine code matters enormously for fuel pump fitment — even within the same generation and fuel type, different engine variants can use different pump specifications, flow rates, and connectors. The engine code is stamped on your V5C or can be retrieved from a VIN check, and it is the single most useful detail you can give a breaker when asking for a quote. Quoting only 'petrol 408' risks being supplied the wrong unit, so always find and share your engine code before ordering.

Trim level has no effect on fuel pump fitment — Active, Allure, and GT trims within the same generation and engine variant all use the same fuel pump, because trim differences relate to interior specification, comfort features, and cosmetic items rather than the fuel delivery system. What does matter is your engine code, fuel type, and the year of your car within its generation, as Peugeot sometimes introduced running changes to mechanical components during a production run. Confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration to account for any mid-production updates.

Both 2012 and 2014 fall within the first-generation 408 (2010–2014), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility if the engine codes match, but Peugeot can introduce ancillary or mounting changes at any point during a production run without a formal model-year break. Give the breaker both registration numbers — yours and the donor car's — along with both engine codes, and let them confirm compatibility directly before you commit to buying.

Yes, diesel and petrol 408s use fundamentally different fuel pump systems — a diesel will typically have both an in-tank lift pump and a separate high-pressure pump feeding the injectors, while a petrol relies primarily on an in-tank low-pressure pump, and on direct-injection petrol variants an additional high-pressure pump. When searching or requesting quotes, specify whether you need the in-tank pump or the high-pressure pump, your fuel type, and your engine code, as supplying the wrong information is the most common cause of receiving an incompatible part. A good breaker will ask for your registration to cross-reference the correct unit for your exact engine.
