  Benefits And Application

  Direct replacement for damaged, corroded or scratched fuel flap covers. The part provides a factory fit and finish, ensuring correct alignment and gap tolerances. Commonly sought under product numbers 9682803080 and 1517G9, it is a frequently replaced body item after minor collisions, parking scrapes or paint damage. Using the correct color code (KWE) ensures minimal blending or repainting when replacing a single panel.

  Technical Information

  • Manufacturer: Stellantis / Peugeot
  • Model: Peugeot 3008 First Generation
  • Product Codes: 9682803080, 1517G9
  • Additional Numbers: 1517.G9, (T84), Stock Code For Filler Neck Housing: 1518E2

  Installation Recommendations

  • Prepare the vehicle on a flat, stable surface and protect surrounding panels from scratches with appropriate covers.
  • Open the fuel flap and inspect the hinge and locking mechanism. Depending on version, remove the inner wheelarch liner or access panel to reach mounting screws or clips.
  • Carefully remove any retaining clips or screws and disconnect the locking actuator or wiring if the fuel flap is fitted with a central locking mechanism.
  • Fit the new cover, check alignment and gap, then secure fasteners. Reconnect the actuator/wiring and test the opening/closing and locking function before reassembling trim panels.
  • If repainting is required, use the exact color code KWE (Pearl White) and follow standard paint preparation and curing procedures to achieve a factory-quality finish.
  • Use appropriate trim tools to avoid damaging surrounding paint and plastic. If unsure, have the replacement performed by a professional body shop or experienced technician.

  Why The Part Fails

  Fuel filler cap covers most commonly need replacement due to external damage and wear. Typical causes include:

  • Minor collisions or parking impacts that dent or crack the flap.
  • Corrosion Around The Hinge Or Mounting Points, Especially In Regions With Road Salt.
  • Paint Damage From Scrapes Or Stone Chips Leading To Rust Or Delamination.
  • Broken Hinge Springs Or Clips From Age And Repeated Use.
  • Failure Or Misalignment Of The Locking Actuator (If Equipped), Which Can Cause The Cover To Sit Incorrectly.

  Practical Tips

  • Always compare part numbers (9682803080 / 1517G9) and paint code (KWE) with the vehicle before installation to ensure correct match.
  • When replacing only the outer cover, inspect the filler neck housing (stock code 1518E2) for hidden damage—replacing both items may be required after impacts.
  • Keep photographic documentation of alignment before removal to simplify refitment and achieve correct gaps.
