Fitment And Compatibility
This filler flap is suitable for Peugeot 206 and 206+ variants that accept the listed product codes. Always compare the part number and the physical shape of the flap (hinge position and locking aperture) with the original component to ensure a correct match. The aluminium-effect finish may differ slightly from factory paint—consider repainting if a perfect color match is required.
Installation Recommendations
- Tools Typically Required: Phillips or Torx drivers, small socket set, plastic trim removal tool, and light lubricant.
- Basic Replacement Steps: Open the flap, access the hinge fasteners (usually reachable from inside the wheel arch or trunk area), remove retaining screws or clips, disconnect any lock actuator or tether if present, transfer springs or fittings if required, mount the replacement flap, tighten fasteners, and test opening/closing and locking operation.
- Adjustment: Align the flap to ensure even gaps and smooth closing—loosen hinge bolts slightly to adjust position, then retighten.
- Protection: Mask surrounding panels during any paint touch-up to avoid overspray. Lightly lubricate hinge and latch components with appropriate grease to reduce wear and noise.
Common Failure Reasons
- Impact Damage: Parking knocks and minor collisions commonly dent or deform the flap.
- Hinge And Clip Wear: Plastic hinge pins or clips can break after repeated use or from corrosion.
- Corrosion: Moisture and salt can corrode hinge fasteners and surrounding metal, leading to stiffness or detachment.
- Latch/Lock Failure: Mechanisms can seize or the locking actuator cable can disconnect, preventing proper closure.
- Finish Degradation: UV exposure and chemical agents can fade or damage the aluminium-effect coating over time.
How Often It Fails
The filler flap is not a scheduled service item and typically lasts many years. Replacement is most often triggered by accidental damage, corrosion in aggressive environments, or plastic hinge/clip failure. Frequency depends on vehicle use, exposure to road salt and moisture, and maintenance.
Notes For Mechanics And DIYers
This part is aimed at professional repair shops and skilled DIYers. Because it is a used component, inspect mounting points and hinge geometry before installation. Minor body alignment or paint work may be required to achieve a factory finish. Part numbers included in this listing speed up identification: 962669, 1508F6, 9642555380.
