I was searching my car for a towing hook when I found a small tool container. It had the towing hook (yay!), a 13mm/10mm wrench, a screw driver, and two other tools: an alan wrench and some sort of metal pin with a loop on it.

What are the alan wrench and metal loop-pin for?

 

If you need to ask....std OEM gen1 kit...
Lol...
One is a tow ring....
One is a sunroof crank....Allen wrench thinggy...
One is a screwdriver....
One is a wrench...
And the pin thing is for removing hubcap/bolt covers.(like a r84/x-lites that has a center cover hiding the bolts)...the loop thinggy.

 

Thank you.

I've owned my R53 for over a year. I can't believe I didn't discover that little kit until today!

Good to know there is a sunroof crank in case of a problem with the sunroof while I'm on the road. And good to know I have a towing ring since I was getting ready to buy one.

 

Oh cool,... I didn't know that. So good to know about the sunroof crank. I also assumed the loop thing was to hold the belt tensioner open, in case the belt needed to be replaced road side. I didn't think of hub caps.

Everything makes sense to me except for the 13mm wrench. I am a little surprised there are no Torx tools in there too.
So I could use the 10mm if I needed to swap a dead battery, but what could I do with a 13mm wrench on the side of the road?

 

Wrench is for the battery on on end...and (I think) the tow ring on the other....or it is just a standard wrench that fits the battery....
