Dacia Sandero Cabin Air Filter: Intervals, Fitment & Warning Signs

On the Sandero, a genuine access detail is worth knowing: the filter sits beside and below the clutch pedal, a genuinely different location from many other cars.

Generation covered: this guide is for the third-generation Sandero (2020–present), with particular focus on 2020–2023 registered examples now old enough for parts to be a common search. Check your logbook or VIN if you're unsure which generation you have.

A Genuinely Distinctive, Real Proof Worth Knowing About

This is genuinely worth checking before assuming you've simply misplaced or overlooked the filter: one documented owner of a related model discovered — when a leaf blew straight through the interior vents while driving — that no cabin filter had ever been fitted to their car at all. If you've searched thoroughly and found nothing, it's genuinely worth confirming your specific car was ever fitted with one.

A genuinely important warning worth knowing before ordering a replacement: one documented case saw an owner order a replacement filter online using only their car's registration number, only to receive a filter nowhere near the correct size. Confirming the exact part number or physically measuring the original before ordering is worth doing.

A genuinely specific access detail worth knowing: on the Sandero and Logan range, the cabin filter is commonly accessed beside and below the clutch pedal, on the driver's side of the centre console, by moving the carpet aside — a genuinely different location from many other cars, which can catch out anyone following a generic guide expecting to find it behind the glovebox.

Dacia Sandero Cabin Air Filter: Easy to Forget, Easy to Fix

This is one of the few parts on the Dacia Sandero that has zero effect on how the car actually drives — its whole job is air quality inside the cabin, which is exactly why it's so easy to let slide for years.

Before you buy: filter size and whether your car uses a standard or activated-carbon filter varies by trim. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

OEM Part Number: 272773974R

Standard particulate filter	Renault/Dacia OEM part, specific to generation — confirm via VIN
Activated carbon version	Genuinely fitted as standard on many current Renault/Dacia models rather than being an optional upgrade — check whether your specific filter has the carbon layer before assuming it needs upgrading

Accuracy note: genuine Renault/Dacia part, shared across the current Duster, Jogger, Logan, and Sandero range.

Cabin air filter, current generation	Renault/Dacia OEM: 272773974R (also referenced as 272779203R)

The Sandero shares its CMF-B platform with the Renault Clio, so it's worth checking parts listings under both car names. This part is generally consistent across engine variants since it's part of the HVAC system rather than the drivetrain, making it one of the more straightforward parts to source.

Dacia Sandero Cabin Air Filter: What It Does

Air entering the Dacia Sandero's ventilation system passes through the cabin filter first, which traps dust and pollen, and on activated-carbon versions, some airborne odours too. It's entirely separate from the engine air filter — a different part doing a different job for the combustion process, not the cabin.
