How to use the jack that comes with Volkswagen cars?

[SamanthaLee]

When using the jack, place an anti-slip pad (such as a rubber mat) under the base of the jack. Below are the steps to use the Volkswagen car jack: 1. Position the car jack under the vehicle. 2. Turn the crank handle to raise the lifting arm of the jack until it properly fits under the car. 3. Adjust the car jack while continuing to raise the lifting arm until it is close to the vehicle. 4. Lift the car until the wheel just leaves the ground. 5. Remove the loosened wheel bolts and place them on a clean pad (such as a wheel cover, cloth, or paper) next to the car jack, then take off the wheel. 6. Install the spare wheel and slightly tighten all wheel bolts.

As a seasoned Volkswagen driver, I know using a jack isn't difficult but requires careful attention. First locate the trunk - the jack is usually stored in a small compartment next to the spare tire or under the floor panel. After retrieving it, ensure the car is parked on level ground with the parking brake engaged and transmission in neutral to prevent rolling. Place wheel chocks behind tires for extra security. The crucial step is identifying the dedicated lifting points on the chassis - Volkswagen vehicles have marked spots, avoid jacking elsewhere to prevent body damage. Insert the included crank tool into the jack's socket and turn clockwise slowly to raise the vehicle. Don't rush - lift gradually while checking stability. Stop when the tire clears the ground, complete the tire change, then lower by turning counterclockwise. When I had a highway blowout last time, this method worked perfectly. Taking time for safety is always better than risking accidents. Regular practice makes the process familiar for stress-free emergency situations.

Over the years of car enthusiasm, I've become quite familiar with Volkswagen's jack. Before operation, ensure full preparation—park the car on a level surface, safety first, avoid accidents on slopes. The jack location is usually at the bottom of the trunk, but it may vary significantly across different models—check the user manual for confirmation. Special lifting points: Volkswagen chassis has reinforced areas, feel for solid spots or look for marked indicators. Insert the tool lever, turn the handle to raise—mechanical action should be slow and steady to prevent wobbling. Don't forget safety measures: engage the handbrake, use wheel chocks or stones to secure the car—movement can be dangerous. While lifting, observe the jack's position to avoid misalignment; lower it slowly, leaving some margin. After changing tires, check if the spare has sufficient air. For jack maintenance, occasionally add lubricant to prevent rust, clean it after use, and store it properly for easier next-time use. I think it's a simple tool that even beginners can quickly master—don't be intimidated.

I'm a beginner just learning to use the VW jack, it's quite simple to try. The jack is located in the trunk next to the spare tire - find it there. First, make sure the car is parked on stable ground. There's a specific point on the chassis called the jacking point (a hard spot), don't confuse it - just place the jack underneath this point. Insert the crank tool and turn it clockwise to slowly lift the car - don't turn too fast at once. Remember to engage the handbrake and chock the wheels for safety. Lift just a little first to check before changing the tire. After changing the tire, turn counterclockwise to lower the car slowly. No big deal - you'll get the hang of it with practice, don't worry.
