Can't figure out how to replace the Jack! (blush)

[stealthwolf]

okay so I had a look. Took the jack out, opening it up a bit and closed it and put it back without problems.

1. Close the jack fully until you get resistance on the handle (doesn't need to be too tight or you'll have difficulty opening it next time).
2. Rotate the jack as needed so that the screw is facing you (ie you can see the whole length of the screw) and the white bit is closest to you and the flat angle furthest from you.
3. The handle folds to the left of the jack as you look at it. You may need to tighten/loosen the jack accordingly.
4. Now the jack is compact, hold the jack so that long part of the screw is facing the right side of the boot (where there's a little pocket in the boot) and then rotate 90 degrees so the long screw is now facing you.
5. Put the jack into its slot. The handle should be touching the bottom of the slot. The angle should be to the right. The long screw should be facing the seats.

Diagrams to follow (i forgot to take my phone with me)

Can't believe instead of revising, I'm telling someone how to put the jack back.




Okay, the first figure shows how the jack looks as you hold it in your hand. The screw part should face you and the handle on the left.
The second figure shows how the jack should look once it's in place. Ignore the angle (I can't remember whether it faces up or down but you should be able to match it with the slot).

If it won't slide easily into it's slot, you might not have closed the jack fully. Retry.

I can't believe that instead of revising, I am looking at instructions on how to put the jack back, when it turns out that mine is actually in there correctly!

Classic avoidance??

Will try this and report back asap, any one got  a pic? I have a feeling the jack may end up going through the window of my neighbours house      thanks all anyway, much appreciated!

I love those alloys - they work fantastically with silver GTI. Dunno how they'd look on black.

Komenda, just noticed, what's the blue bit on the headlight towards the grille?

Hasnt Joesgti got similar wheels? That may give you an idea..

Joe has BBS GT on his car and they look the muts so I reckon LM's will work. Pictures don't always give a true representation. Quite like the matt black though.

That blue tint is the Diadem indicator bulbs, appear a bluey silver colour when off but flash orange.
