Fitment And Compatibility
Compatible with Peugeot 3008 First Generation models. Check the part numbers (9682803080, 1517G9) against your vehicle’s existing cover to confirm correct fitment. The part is intended as a direct exterior replacement and retains the original hinge and latch mounting pattern.
Installation Procedure
Replacement can be performed in a typical body shop or by a competent DIYer with basic tools:
- Open Fuel Door And Inspect Hinge/Latch: Confirm whether hinge pins, clips or screws secure the cover.
- Access Fixings: Depending on model year and inner wheel-arch trim, you may need to remove or lower an inner trim panel to reach screws/clips.
- Remove Fasteners: Unscrew or unclip the retaining hardware and carefully detach the old cover from the hinge or latch assembly.
- Transfer Hardware If Needed: If the original hinge, spring or locking insert must be reused, transfer these components to the new cover before final fitting.
- Fit New Cover: Mount the replacement, align to body gap, tighten fasteners and test operation of the flap and fuel cap access.
- Final Check: Close and open the fuel door several times to ensure smooth operation and correct alignment. Touch up any exposed screw heads if required.

Recommended Installation
Perform installation on a clean, dry vehicle. If the hinge or latch shows corrosion or play, replace those components or refurbish them before fitting the new cover to prevent premature wear. When painting adjustments are required, ensure the paint code (EPY / EPYD — Ruby Red) matches the vehicle. Reuse original clips only if they are undamaged; use OEM-quality fasteners for best results.
Why The Part Most Commonly Fails
Fuel filler cap covers rarely fail from normal wear; the most frequent causes of replacement are:
- Impact Damage: Minor collisions, shopping trolleys or door-to-door impacts that dent or crack the flap.
- Vandalism Or Forced Entry: Damage to the door or latch area from tampering.
- Corrosion And Wear: Hinges, mounting pins or springs can corrode or break over time, causing misalignment or inability to close.
- Paint Damage: Stone chips and environmental wear that make the cover visually unacceptable.
This cover is a practical, cost-effective way to restore both function and appearance to the fuel filler area. Supplied in the vehicle paint finish for a factory look and easy installation at the workshop or at home.
