Dacia Jogger Radiator: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

On the Jogger, a genuine, widely-documented thermostat housing fault comes with a real consumer grievance worth knowing.

Generation covered: this guide is for the Jogger (launched 2021), with particular focus on 2021–2023 registered examples now old enough for parts to be a common search. Check your logbook or VIN if you're unsure which build you have.

Confirmed: A Genuine, Widely-Documented Thermostat Housing Fault — And a Real Consumer Grievance

If your car has a TCe petrol engine, this is genuinely worth knowing: the plastic thermostat housing on these engines has a well-documented tendency to crack or lift away from its gasket over time, causing coolant loss that can escalate to a serious leak. One genuinely alarming documented case on a related model saw the thermostat housing crack severely while driving on a motorway, emptying the entire cooling system. When the dealer diagnosed the cause, they refused warranty coverage, reportedly claiming this kind of failure "has never happened" — despite it being a widely reported, well-documented issue across owner forums for this exact engine.

A genuinely useful, free diagnostic technique worth trying first: rather than removing the engine undertray immediately, shine a torch up through the gaps toward the thermostat housing and look for visible staining, crusting, or wetness — this can often confirm a leak without needing to remove anything.

It's also worth knowing about a genuine false positive: air conditioning systems naturally produce condensation, which can drip onto the ground in a way that's easily mistaken for a coolant leak. If you're seeing wet patches but the coolant level isn't actually dropping, it's worth checking whether this is simply normal AC condensate first.

Dacia Jogger Radiator: The Part That Keeps Everything Else From Cooking

Unglamorous as it is, the Dacia Jogger's cooling system sits behind nearly every serious engine failure that isn't just ordinary wear — and one that went unaddressed for too long. Noticing early warning signs here is a small cost against a potentially very large one.

Before you buy: radiator size and design vary significantly by engine size, transmission type, and whether your car has air conditioning. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

OEM Part Number: 214103645R (as quoted in catalogue listings — confirm via VIN) — aftermarket radiators Nissens 607118 / NRF 550320

Accuracy note: Covers the Dacia Jogger (2022-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Radiators are sold by engine, gearbox and air-conditioning fitment, and one model usually has two or three different cores — a thicker core for diesels and automatics, a thinner one for small petrols — with different hose positions, so a radiator for the wrong engine will not connect up. The references below are UK aftermarket listings whose fitment lists name this generation, labelled by brand with the core size in mm; genuine numbers are those quoted against the listing. Check your engine code and whether the car has air conditioning against your VIN, and replace the coolant and bleed the system after fitting.

Radiators (aftermarket)	Nissens 607118 (510 x 396 x 26 mm, aluminium core, plastic tanks, 35 mm connections, supplied with seals, fits both 1.0 TCe petrol and LPG Joggers and the Sandero III 1.0 TCe); NRF 550320; Van Wezel 15012704; Hella 8MK 366 304-981; AKS Dasis 180141N; Kale 363640; Bogap R4210216
Core sizes & variants	One radiator covers the petrol and bi-fuel three-cylinder Joggers. The 1.6 Hybrid 140 is not on the fit list and takes its own cooling pack.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	214103645R
Fitment notes	Supplied with gaskets and seals; the same part serves the Sandero III, so stock is plentiful.

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: whether a Jogger has air conditioning or a larger optional engine can change radiator sizing on some variants — fitment guides that only ask for model and year can still get this wrong, so cross-check the engine code where possible.

The Jogger shares its CMF-B platform with the Dacia Sandero and Renault Clio, so it's worth checking parts listings under those car names too. Radiator specification varies between the manual TCe versions and the automatic Hybrid 140/155, which has additional cooling requirements for its hybrid system components.

Dacia Jogger Radiator: What It Does

On the Dacia Jogger, engine coolant sheds its heat into the passing air via the radiator, which is what keeps engine temperature in a safe working range. On automatics, it frequently pulls double duty cooling the transmission fluid through its own internal circuit — a detail that makes getting the exact part number right especially important.
