Hi guys, OK I know this is a bit premature, but as I'll be doing a full detail of the Golf when it arrives, that will also include removing the wheels to fully decontaminate them before sealing them. With that in mind, I usually put the car up on axle stands after jacking up with a trolley jack on the stock lifting points on the sills.
As the MK7 MQB platform and suspension is subtly different from the previous MK5/MK6 set up, does anyone know where the best locating points are for putting axle stands safely after lifting ?
Cheers

Must be the same as for a standard mk7 Golf. So... what we need is the manual for the standard mk7?
Unfortunately I don't think VW put them on-line because they actually sell them. Skoda has them on-line though. Could take a gander at whatever their MQB vehicle is and see if it is obvious how that translates to the Golf?

Bill, I think the standard manual just gives you the sill jacking points. What I am looking for is once the car is up on the jack (using the standard jack points in the sills), where does the axle stand go under each corner ?

Ah, sorry.
