This used fuel flap cover is a direct-fit replacement for the first‑generation Peugeot 3008. Designed to restore the appearance and function of the vehicle’s fuel filler area, the panel is finished in EPY (Rubi Red) paint and is commonly sought by part numbers such as 9682803080 and 1517G9. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics, this part helps avoid costly bodywork and keeps the filler neck protected from dirt and moisture.

Function And Benefits

The fuel flap cover (fuel filler flap) protects the fuel filler neck from road dirt, water ingress and minor impacts. Besides the protective role, it completes the exterior styling of the vehicle and may incorporate the latch that secures the flap. Replacing a damaged flap restores proper sealing and prevents contamination of the filler area.

Installation Recommendations

• Recommended For: Experienced Automechanics And Competent DIYers.
• Tools: Plastic trim tools, Torx/screwdrivers for hinge screws, small ratchet set, panel clips pliers.
• Procedure Overview: Open the fuel flap and access the mounting fasteners (may require removing inner trunk trim or wheel-arch liner depending on model). Remove retaining screws or clips, carefully detach the hinge and any rubber surround or spring, and replace the cover. Transfer any spring/hinge parts from the old unit if required. Align the flap, secure fasteners to manufacturer torque where available, and verify smooth opening/closing and sealing.

Why This Part Commonly Fails

• Impact Damage: Minor parking impacts, fuel-pump collisions or dooring incidents often crack or deform the flap.
• Worn Hinges And Clips: Plastic hinges and retaining clips become brittle with age and can break from repeated use or cold exposure.
• Corrosion And Debris: Accumulated dirt, salt and moisture can lead to latch sticking or accelerated wear of fastening points.
• Paint Damage: Scratches and chips from refuelling or road debris lead owners to replace the flap for cosmetic reasons.

Technical Information

• Manufacturer: Stellantis / Peugeot

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.
