Nissan Qashqai Fuel Pump: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults
A genuinely important, repeated consumer complaint: dealers insisting on a full pump replacement despite cheaper component-level parts existing — one real case saw a €2,000 quote reduced to €118.

OEM Part Number: 170404EA0A (as quoted in catalogue listings — confirm via VIN) — aftermarket fuel pumps Bosch 0 580 204 030 / Hüco 132724
| Fuel pumps / feed units (aftermarket) | Bosch 0 580 204 030 (complete in-tank feed unit); Bosch 0 580 203 373 (complete in-tank feed unit); Bosch 0 580 204 046 (complete in-tank feed unit); Hüco 132724 (complete feed unit with sender, petrol); Hüco 133252 and 133249 (complete feed units with sender, petrol); Hüco 132758, 132765 and 132789 (complete feed units with sender, diesel); Astemo 2502765, 2502758 and 2502789 (complete feed units with sender, diesel); VDO 2803580314302 (complete feed unit, petrol) |
|---|---|
| Types & variants | This is a complete-module car. Petrol 1.2 DIG-T, 1.6 DIG-T and 2.0 use a pressurised feed unit with sender (Hüco 132724 / 133252 / 133249, VDO, Bosch); the 1.5 dCi, 1.6 dCi and 1.7 dCi diesels use a sender unit with a lift pump only (Hüco 132758 / 132765 / 132789, Astemo 2502765 / 2502758 / 2502789). Several Bosch and Hüco numbers exist because the module changed with the 2017 facelift and with engine, so the chassis number decides. |
| Genuine (OE) numbers quoted | Metzger 2250684 and Meat & Doria 77576 are quoted against 170404EA0A. |
| Fitment notes | No bare pump cartridge is offered for the J11, so the whole module including the level sender is replaced on both petrol and diesel; the diesel units carry no high-pressure pump and must not be confused with the petrol ones. |
A Genuinely Important, Repeated Consumer Complaint Worth Knowing About — Nissan Qashqai Fuel Pump
If your diesel Qashqai has a fuel pump fault and you've been quoted for a complete pump replacement, this is genuinely worth knowing: multiple owners describe what they call a "classic Nissan ploy" — dealers insisting a full pump replacement is required, sometimes costing £2,000 or more, despite Nissan itself selling cheaper, replaceable component-level parts (specifically valves and pressure regulators) that fit the same pump and can resolve many faults for a fraction of the cost. One documented case on a related model saw a €2,000 dealer quote for a full pump reduced to around €118 once the actual failed component — a small fuel pressure switch — was correctly identified and replaced on its own.
It's also worth knowing that some model years use a single valve while others use two, distinguished by different coloured caps — a genuine, documented fitment trap where ordering the wrong configuration for your specific car has caused confusion and wasted orders. Confirming the exact setup for your specific car before ordering is worth doing.
Nissan Qashqai Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments
This is one of the more inconveniently timed failures the Nissan Qashqai can have — it tends to strand drivers mid-journey rather than politely failing while the car's parked on the drive. Recognising the early warning signs buys real time to sort it before you're stuck somewhere inconvenient.

Nissan Qashqai Fuel Pump: What It Does
Delivering fuel from the tank to the engine at the correct pressure for combustion is the Nissan Qashqai's fuel pump's whole job. It lives inside the tank itself, submerged in fuel, which is exactly why replacing something this small is a more involved job than it looks.
Nissan Qashqai Fuel Pump: Generations & Engines: Fuel Pump Type
| J10 (2006–2013), 1.6 petrol (HR16DE) | Petrol: typically a single in-tank low-pressure pump; some later or higher-output variants may add a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump for direct injection — confirm your exact engine |
|---|---|
| J10 (2006–2013), 1.5 dCi diesel | Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump |
| J11 (2013/2014–2021), 1.2 DIG-T petrol (HRA2DDT) | Petrol: typically a single in-tank low-pressure pump; some later or higher-output variants may add a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump for direct injection — confirm your exact engine |
| J11 (2018–2021), 1.3 DIG-T petrol (HR13DDT) | Petrol: typically a single in-tank low-pressure pump; some later or higher-output variants may add a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump for direct injection — confirm your exact engine |
| J11 (2013–2021), 1.5 dCi diesel (K9K, shared with Renault) | Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump |
| J11 (2013–2021), 1.6/2.0 dCi diesel (R9M/M9R) | Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump |
| J12 (2021–present), 1.3 DIG-T petrol (incl. mild-hybrid) | Petrol: typically a single in-tank low-pressure pump; some later or higher-output variants may add a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump for direct injection — confirm your exact engine — the hybrid system doesn't change this; the combustion engine still needs its own fuel pump |
