MFi Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hi,Thought I should introduce myself - I have had my Lupo Gti and been registered on the forum since summer last year, but only just got round to posting my first message :oops: The forum has been a great help, and given me lots of answers to my questions by looking through the archives. I do have a question about jacking points though - think I will post it as a separate message... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hi!The side jacking points on a GTI are `non-existant` though - you need a trolley jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFi Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Thanks both! Yes, I have a trolley jack but I couldn't work out where to put it under the car.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 MFi - welcome aboardThe jacking points are pointed out of the sills. Look at the sills at each end near the wheels - you will see arrows stamped to the sill. These point into the body and there is a notch out of the sill lip under the car - you will see flat part of the body just in from the sill arrows, this is the jacking point. Make sure you find it though as it bends very easily if you get it wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFi Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Thanks for the warm welcome! 8) I have a good idea on the jacking points now, so thanks a lot for that. I can have a go at taking the wheels off the car at the weekend now, I want to clean the calipers up properly and get the wheels nice and shiny!Will try and put a pic of the car up in a bit...
