Metallic pin found inside engine bay
« on: April 18, 2018, 02:36:45 am »
Hi guys
So as I was cleaning the engine bay the other day I found on top of the dsg gearbox  a pin that I had no idea where it fell from so I’m a little worried. Any help? Here is the pin

That looks like the ring pull for pulling off the wheel nut caps, with the hook bit missing.... :thinking:

I would agree with the above and add to that its nothing to worry about as its a consumable item, although it's not meant to be left in the engine-bay.

A bit slack of them to drop it into the engine bay instead of the bin though!
