Dacia Sandero Towbars

Dacia Sandero Towing Specifics

The Dacia Sandero was first introduced in 2007 by the Romanian manufacturer as a subcompact car, with decent towing abilities. The range currently includes three generations; 2008-2012, 2013-2017 and 2017 onwards. We will cover the towing specifics of each generation below.

Dacia Sandero Electrics Kits

It is recommended that all tow bars fitted to a Dacia Sandero are done so with a dedicated electrics kit, rather than a universal electrics kit. A dedicated electrics kit not only ensures all modern features such as; trailer stability and parking sensors are functional but also helps to keep your vehicle's warranty unaffected.

We offer both universal and dedicated electrics kits for the Dacia Sandero towbars, but be aware that universal electrics kits can invalidate any manufacturer warranty your vehicle has and may also require a bypass relay.

Check your Dacia warranty for more information.

Bypass Relays

Tow bars for the Dacia Sandero 2008-2012 models will not require a bypass relay if universal electrics are fitted.

Tow bars for the 2013-2017 and 2017 onwards models will require a bypass relay if universal electrics are fitted.

A bypass relay works by powering what it is you are towing through transferring power straight from the battery instead of taking too much current away from your vehicle.

Whereas a dedicated system works in harmony with your vehicle's ECU and all of its functions.

Coding

This is the coding of the ECU to accept the dedicated system, this updates your vehicles software to run smoothly with the new towbar. All Dacia Sandero vehicles made from 2008 will not require coding.

Coding is used to update your vehicles software in order for it to run coherently with the new towbar through the dedicated electrics.

Bumper Cuts

Depending on the towbar, Dacia Sandero vehicles may require a bumper cut. A bumper cut is when a fraction of the vehicle's rear bumper is cut in order to fit the towbar.

Sandero models 2008-2012 have towbars that require visible and no bumper cuts.

2013-2017 models have towbars that require non-visible and visible bumper cuts.

2017 onwards models have towbars that require non-visible bumper cuts.

Nose Weight

Nose weight is the amount of weight pushing down on the tow ball, it is important not to exceed the nose weight set on the tow bar, failure to do so could damage the car chassis and/or tow bar mounting points. Nose weight varies depending on the towbar you choose and are displayed under each tow bar below.

For a Dacia Sandero vehicle, the nose weight is 75kg.

Towing Weight

Towing weight is the weight that a Dacia Sandero vehicle can tow safely, without any risk of damaging the vehicle. Towing weights are bar specific and displayed below each towbar.

For a Dacia Sandero vehicle made between 2008-2012, the towbars have a towing weight capacity 1100kg up to 1355kg.

For a vehicle made 2012-2017, the towbars have a towing weight capacity of up to 1100kg.

For a vehicle made 2017 onwards, the towbars have a towing weight capacity of up to 1150kg.

You will need to check the towing limit for your Logan Sandero vehicle model as it may not be able to tow up to the weight limit that the tow bar can tow.
