Description
Fuel filler flap cap for Peugeot 307. Color ETS – Cendre Gray paint. We have various colors in stock.
This replacement fuel filler flap is designed for Peugeot 307 owners and professional workshops looking for a direct-fit, painted exterior panel. Supplied with original product codes to simplify identification (9643554477, 151788, ETSC), it restores the vehicle’s exterior finish and protects the fuel filler neck from dirt and moisture. Suitable for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who require an OEM-style appearance and reliable fitment.
Application
Fits Peugeot 307 models. Commonly used on hatchback and estate (SW) body styles from the 307 range. Check the part numbers listed below to ensure correct fitment for your specific vehicle.
Function
The fuel filler flap (fuel door) covers and protects the fuel filler neck and cap. It provides a painted exterior surface matching the vehicle body and, on some variants, integrates with the release/latch mechanism. Correct alignment is important to avoid wind noise, rattles or poor sealing.
Common Failure Modes
Typical reasons for replacement include minor collisions or parking damage, corrosion of hinge or fasteners, broken hinge or latch components, and paint damage from stone chips or environmental exposure. The part itself is durable; failures are usually due to external impact or degraded mounting hardware rather than the flap panel.
Replacement Frequency & Symptoms
This component is not a scheduled service item. Replacement is normally required after visible damage, difficulty closing the flap, persistent rattles, or when the flap no longer aligns flush with the body. Many owners replace the flap after accident repairs or when repainting to achieve a color match.
Installation
- Open the fuel filler flap and identify the fixing points (screws, bolts or plastic clips) securing the flap and hinge.
- Remove retaining screws or clips. On some vehicles a trim panel inside the luggage area or wheel arch may need partial removal for access.
- If a mechanical release cable or electrical latch is present, carefully disconnect it before removing the old flap.
- Transfer any hinge hardware or spring parts if required, or replace with new clips/fasteners if damaged.
- Fit the new filler flap, align so it closes flush with surrounding body panels, then tighten fasteners evenly. Avoid overtightening plastic clips to prevent cracking.
- Check operation of the release/latch and ensure the flap seals correctly. If painted, any touch-up should be performed before final fitting where practical.
Installation Recommendations
Use correct-size tools to avoid stripping screws. Replace any broken clips, bushings or hinge pins found during removal. If the release cable or latch shows wear, replace it at the same time to prevent future issues. For painted items, match the paint code (ETS / Cendre Gray) or have the part professionally resprayed for best appearance.

Why The Part Most Often Fails
The most common causes are external impact (parking bumps, minor collisions), corrosion or wear of hinge and fasteners, and damage from stones or road debris. Sun and weather exposure can also accelerate paint degradation and lead to replacement for cosmetic reasons.
Notes For Mechanics and DIYers
Always inspect surrounding mounting points and replace any damaged clips or fasteners during installation. After fitting, verify smooth operation of the flap and that it closes without binding. For best finish, confirm color match (ETS – Cendre Gray) before final assembly. Part numbers 9643554477 and 151788 are commonly used when searching for this component.
