Title: Axle stands and jacking points
Post by: Dunc245 on 03 January 2019, 19:46

Hi,

About to jack up car for first time. I see jacking points are identified in the handbook, but wondering where is safe place to put axle stands while I change wheels etc. Where do you place them without risking damage to floor or cills etc?

Some good info here. https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2137 (https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2137) (Post #11 onwards.)

I use a 'hockey puck' with a groove cut in on my trolley jack to jack at the strengthened seam.
