    How low can I go static?

    Its not for the weak! Haha Mines down about 160mm I reckon give or take. Subframe catches/scrapes on speed bumps, as does the front jacking points and exhaust. I've almost beached it a few times but wouldn't have it any other way! SoLows all the way down, machined top mounts and hub mod. Got...

    Rear axle stand points

    I’m not proposing to put the axle stand under the anti-roll bar itself, just under the chassis plate that it is bolted to. I don’t want to have an axle stand in the left position under the jacking point.

    T6.1 Koni type

    ...Also, regarding hoist lifting points: I have a 2 post hoist and would like to know what the correct lifting points are. Do I use the jacking points? Most cars you can find factory lifting drawings but VW seem a bit shy on most things that allow you to work on your own vehicle. I’ve read...

    Brake Pad & Disc change - How I Done It -

    I jack the front up using a bottle jack on the jacking point one side at a time then place an axle stand under the big tubular section that I think supports the engine. Then do the other side. Done it a fair few times with no problems. If you go for a new tyre they will jack it up with a trolley...

    Jacking points, trolley jacks and axle stands

    There are only 4 official jacking points, obviously if you have a jack on them you can’t fit a stand. You will need to mount the stand on the strongest part of the lower suspension arm pivot NOT the body or the suspension arm. Some have used the subframe with a block to spread the load. Just...

    Sub-Woofer Enclosures

    We always remove the jack point to fit the n/s sub box. You really have no option. I’m running twins tens in our Sportline and the sound is perfect.

    Sub-Woofer Enclosures

    It was removed in my camper and would guess it's a 'thing' in most campers.

    Clunk clunk clunk

    That's good guidance. Thanks. Our noise is very much in the 'straight line' so this would point more towards the lower ball joints. I'm just surprised that I couldn't provoke any movement in them when I jacked it up and hauled on the bottom of the wheel.

    Rear axle stand points

    What you've got is probably as good as you can do. My only improvement would be to rotate the stand under the jack point by 90 degrees so there is less chance of the packer being displaced.

    Towing with a lowered van

    My Caravan has inboard jockey wheel which is a fecking stupid design and yes can be a problem with lowered van. I just ensure it is pointing directly forward or it won't lower enough. I always use the motor mover to get it on and off pitches so I just make sure it's driven for a few meters...

    Alernator clutch pulley replace

    After watching a couple of videos I didn't like how complicated everyone was making this process This is how I did it. Pop the bumper off and remove RH headlight. Remove air box. This was the hardest bit because I couldn't work out how it was attached. You have to pull it forwards to release...

    Inexperienced tyrefitters

    Reading this now you added your comment and 4 years in I’m still not sure where the jacking points are. I assume that if I ever remove the jack from the holder and offer it up to the side of the van it will be obvious where it goes. Or maybe I’ll get a man in to do it :)

    Jacking for axle stand front

    Very similar thead to the rear one but is it safe to jack under the normal jacking point and place the axle stand here?

    What's The Best Portable Jack?

    If you are in a camper and carry levelling ramps you could use those to raise a flat off the ground and gain more clearance under the jack point?

    Getting underneath the van…

    Hi, I need to do a temporary repair on the engine bay under tray on my Caravelle. It’s partly hanging down. I guess it will need a new one but we are due to go on holiday. If I use these to raise the front of the van up so I can get underneath is there anything I need to check for safety etc...
