OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — cabin air filter (aftermarket) Valeo 715803 / Filtron K1355

Accuracy note: Covers the Renault Kadjar (2015-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. A cabin filter is a cheap part, but it is bought by number, and the number depends on whether your car was built with a standard particulate filter or an activated-carbon one, as well as on trim and build date. The references below are aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, grouped by brand; the carmaker's own number is not quoted in those listings, so check the genuine filter against your VIN if you want a guaranteed match. Carbon versions carry their own numbers and are listed separately.

Cabin filter, standard (aftermarket)	Valeo 715803, Filtron K1355, Hengst E3906LI, Corteco 80001760
Activated-carbon version (aftermarket)	Filtron K 1367A, Hengst E3906LC, Mahle LAK1173
Genuine (OE) number	Not quoted in the catalogue listings — the fitted filter varies by trim and build date, so order the genuine one against your VIN
Fitment notes	Standard and carbon filters have different numbers, and the right size depends on trim and build date. Check which type your car was built with before ordering.

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive Kadjars sometimes use differently shaped filter housings, since the filter usually sits near the passenger footwell — worth double-checking against your own market's spec rather than a generic international listing.

A Genuinely Important Access Warning Worth Knowing on RHD UK Cars — Renault Kadjar Cabin Air Filter

On later Meganes and related models, access to the cabin filter genuinely varies by market — left-hand-drive cars typically access it behind the glovebox, but on right-hand-drive UK cars, access can genuinely be in the clutch pedal footwell area instead, a completely different location. If you're following a generic online guide showing glovebox removal and it simply doesn't match what you're seeing in your car, this is likely why.

A genuine, real cost figure worth knowing: one dealer quoted £120 for a straightforward cabin filter replacement — a genuinely simple job that took around 5-30 minutes once the correct access point was identified, making this one of the most worthwhile DIY jobs on the entire car if you're comfortable with basic tools.

It's also worth knowing that not every model in this range was fitted with a cabin filter from the factory on every generation and trim — if you've searched thoroughly and genuinely can't find one, it's worth confirming your specific car was ever fitted with one before assuming user error.

Renault Kadjar Cabin Air Filter: Easy to Forget, Easy to Fix

Skipping this one on a Renault Kadjar won't cost you performance or reliability, only air quality inside the cabin — which is why it's routinely the most overdue item on any used car's maintenance history.

Renault Kadjar Cabin Air Filter: What It Does

Two filters get mixed up constantly on the Renault Kadjar: this one cleans air for the cabin ventilation system, catching dust, pollen and (on activated-carbon versions) some airborne pollutants, while the separate engine air filter deals purely with combustion air. They don't share a part number or a purpose.
