Our new Cali… and what IS this?

Very excited to get our new van today… one of the last in stock here in Melbourne. We were just wondering what this gizmo does? It says 6nm on the side.
Thanks heaps!

looks like it’s for fitting the bike rack. Nice van

For exerting correct torque on bike rack bolts.

Insert into bolt and twist until the arrow points to the 6nm mark and hey presto your nuts are torqued up correctly without over tightening! Same things are used for roof bars

Nice van nice gadget… just a thought though with the high price of VW bike racks they are an easy target for thieves… swapping the originals for two different types of security bolts will make it much harder for the casual thief
