Description
Spare Wheel Winch For Peugeot 307 And 308 Vehicles.
Product Overview
This spare wheel winch is a direct-fit replacement for many Peugeot 307 and Peugeot 308 models. Designed to secure and lower the spare wheel from beneath the vehicle, the mechanism consists of a winding drum, cable and mounting bracket built to OE specifications. It is commonly searched by its part numbers, so having the OEM code to hand (9648236680) helps technicians and DIYers find the exact replacement fast.
Why Choose This Part
Durable and straightforward in design, the winch restores reliable spare-wheel handling after a failed or corroded original unit. Ideal for workshops and home mechanics who need an OEM-compatible solution, the part reduces time on roadside repairs and ensures the spare wheel can be lowered and raised smoothly when needed.
How It Works
The winch consists of a hand-operated or tool-engaged drum that reels the cable to hold the spare wheel against the underbody carrier. When lowered, the cable pays out to release the wheel; when raised, the drum winds the cable to secure the wheel in place. Proper routing and secure mounting are essential to prevent cable chafing or uncontrolled release.
Replacement Procedure (Overview)
- Open the trunk and remove the trunk floor cover and any trim obstructing access to the winch/mounting area.
- Lower the spare wheel fully so you can access the cable attachment point.
- Support the spare wheel, then detach the cable from the wheel and unbolt the winch mounting bolts.
- Remove the old winch assembly, inspect surrounding fixtures and the cable routing for damage or corrosion.
- Fit the new winch, route the cable exactly as the original, secure mounting bolts to manufacturer recommendations, attach the cable to the spare wheel, and test operation by lowering and raising the wheel several times.
- Reinstall trim and covers. Verify the spare is held securely and cable tension is correct.

Installation Recommendations
- Use proper hand tools and a torque wrench for mounting bolts where possible; follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specs when available.
- Inspect the spare wheel carrier, cable routing path and attachment points for corrosion or damage and treat exposed metal with rust inhibitor to prolong service life.
- Lubricate moving parts lightly (avoid over-greasing the cable) and ensure the cable winds evenly on the drum to prevent bunching or chafing.
- After installation, cycle the winch several times and visually inspect for correct seating and tension before road use.
Most Common Causes Of Failure
The most frequent reasons these winches fail are corrosion and cable wear. Road salt and moisture accelerate rust on the drum, cable and mounting hardware, causing the mechanism to seize or the cable to fray. Impact damage from off-road use or improper handling during previous repairs can bend the bracket or damage the drum, preventing smooth operation. Lack of periodic inspection and maintenance allows small issues to grow into complete failures.
Maintenance Tips
- Check the winch and cable for rust or fraying at every service interval or after winter seasons.
- Clean and apply light corrosion protection to exposed metal parts.
- Replace the winch immediately if the cable shows significant wear, broken strands, or if the drum no longer winds smoothly.
