Mystery tool! (1 Viewer)

[Beltie]

Does anyone know the function of this tool which is in the 2020 Ducato tool kit along with the jack etc.. I can't identify anything it may fit and my assumption is it may be something to do with a spare wheel carrier - if one were fitted. If so, what would you be expected to turn it with.

Any guidance gratefully received.

A photo may help

 

[Lenny HB]

As it's invisible I wouldn't worry about it.

Could it be an extension to wind the spare wheel down

 

[Treeeev]

Beltie

That is to lower the spare wheel carrier at the rear of the van which you may or may not have

Cheers

No, I've already got several of those spare!

 

[Beltie]

Thanks guys, that's what I thought it must be. I've just had self levelling fitted and was taking the jack out when I came across that tool. And yes I have retained the towing eye.

Thanks again.

I had one of those on a car that I don't remember!

I also had a ski rope style tow rope;

When under load the 'twist' in the rope managed to unscrew the Towing Eye, which was quite exciting.

It fits here in the spare wheel carrier.

 

[scotzsue]

we had one similar to that, out battery was in a box under the van the extension fitted through a hole in the skirt to lower the box.

 

[mitzimad]

We had a recall on a 07 ducat where they changed the spare wheel carrier the new one was under the driverside rear wheel arch and came with an extention rod like that

Apparently, that is why most towing eyes are left-hand thread.

That’s what my dad said when I asked him what something was for and he was busy or comedic.
