In the front valence next to the fog lamp - is it the cold air intake to the air box???

Also the Renault 172/182 are called this becasue of their BHP output, but does this refer to the BHP @ The Crank/Flywheel or the Wheels???

Hole is where the towing eye screws in and the BHP figure is at the flywheel.



Mat.

Its at the fly and its based on the French Hp the Uk conversion says its got 166.66hp but that doesn't sounds as good.

1 BHP = 745.69987158227022 W

PS (Pferdestärke) is metric horsepower. 1 PS = 743.49875 W

A Clio Sport 172 is 172 PS, not 172 BHP. So it is 170 BHP.

A Clio Sport 182 is 182 PS, not 182 BHP, so it is 179 BHP.
