- Model: Peugeot 3008 I (First Generation)

Function
The cover protects the fuel filler cap and sealing area from external contamination and contributes to the overall vehicle appearance. While the filler cap itself provides the airtight seal, the painted cover is primarily cosmetic and structural — it ensures correct alignment of the flap and secures the locking or hinge mechanism.
How To Replace
Replacement is straightforward for a trained mechanic or experienced DIYer. Typical steps:
- Open the fuel flap and remove the internal fasteners or clips securing the cover to the filler housing.
- Carefully unclip or unscrew the hinge assembly if fitted; retain any clips for reuse if undamaged.
- Detach the old cover from the filler housing and inspect the hinge, clips and rubber seals.
- Fit the new cover, aligning mounting points and reattaching hinge and clips. Ensure the flap closes evenly and clears the bodywork.
- Perform a visual check for paint fit and gap alignment. If painted, allow any touch-up to cure per paint supplier instructions.
Installation Recommendations
- Use appropriate trim tools to avoid damaging paint or surrounding trim during removal.
- Replace any broken clips or corroded hinge pins to ensure a secure fit and correct operation.
- When matching paint, verify the colour code (KWE White Pearl) and consider professional respray for perfect gloss and texture match.
- Check the filler cap seal after installation to confirm proper closure and prevent contamination.
Most Common Failure Reasons
- Impact Damage: Minor collisions at the fuel door or careless refuelling can crack or deform the cover.
- Broken Hinge or Clips: Plastic hinges and retaining clips become brittle with age and can snap, causing misalignment or loose fit.
- Paint Damage: Chipping and peeling from stone impacts or corrosion at the edges leads owners to replace the cover for cosmetic reasons.
- Wear From Frequent Use: Repeated opening/closing and exposure to fuels or detergents can accelerate degradation of moving parts.
