Additional Jack Points

[dArK5HaD0w]

in my effort to figure how to use axle/jack stands - i discovered additional points, not covered in the manual, or anywhere else on the web.

since the jack and stand can't fit side by side, i had to find alternate positions.

happy to b corrected if these are NOT jack points.

car is an MY17 162TSi Superb Sedan.


rear one has a rectangular cover...


rear one with cover removed.....


front one has a circular plastic cap......


front one with plastic cap removed.....

I wouldn't use those spots. Just stick to the ones on the sills.

For me, I use these:


Caravan levelling ramps to raise the front of the car up.


Jack stands under the sills at the advised jacking points.


Low-profile trolley jack, to lift the front of the car at the crossmember.

To raise the rear is a little trickier, and heavily dependant on the car. I tend to just lift it at the rearmost crossmember bolt on either side. Gently, as it can sometimes be a little dicey.

I do this several times a day, most days of the week on VAG vehicles. If you use common sense, you won't have any issues.

My preferred choice would b car ramps.
But the ones from Supercheap/repco etc etc do not clear the front bumper.
The caravan ramps far to low height wise.
I'm not planning to go buy a pair of caravan ramps, trolley jack and Jack stands.
I'm buying just a pair of Jack stands.

All those points r on the sub-frame or chassis.

There are two identical ones at the rear, and two identical ones at the front.

I'm no mechanic, so I can't confirm.

But it sure as hell looks like very plausible jack points.

I couldnt take a pic of the actual point - it is solid metal.

Looks more safer than the sill jack points if u ask me.

in these "exposed" pics (not my car) u can see the rear jack points more clearly, which i pointed out in my earlier pics.
it just so happens on my car, there is a plastic undertray infront of the rear wheels - hence u can't see the chassis frame on mine.
but in the images below - the plastic cover is removed, clearly showing the chassis.

red = additional points
green = "advertised" or known points
