Where about's on the car are we looking?
Is it under the bonnet next to where the wing and bulkhead meet?

Perhaps they're just....... holes ? :wink:

Do they need a reason to exist ? :lol:

(Sorry, I have no idea.... there are lots of holes all over the car that don't have any purpose that I can see...)

Once looks like a mounting tab for a sensor/sender/bracket your car doesn't have. The vent hole ??? Possibly in countries where they use radiator blinds, it's to ease the vacum created by the fans if they switch on with the radiator blind down ???

I'm sure that on one of my Xantias, one of the horns lives somewhere around that hole.

malcom I think you might just have it batman, as the fans are off a TD.
I'm also thinking the same as Mandrake lol

The intercooler clips to the front of the radiator on a TD and is behind the fans.

Perish the thought that I could actually go and look at my two. That would be plainly crazy!

I wondered if the hole was maybe for a air temp sensor, seems a too big tho & I'm at a loss to the one on the edge of the fan.
Now if only I had a EPC.....

In the Citroen world, I think they are intended to be used as a shortcut so rats can go from behind the rad to the front of the car :lol:

Just kidding. I really don't know. I haven't payed to much attention to them in my car.
