Where is the jack located in the Magotan?
2 Answers
The jack of the Magotan is located under the trunk mat, placed together with the spare tire. According to structural characteristics, jacks can be categorized into: rack jacks, screw jacks, and hydraulic jacks. A jack refers to a lightweight lifting device that uses a rigid lifting component as the working device to lift heavy objects within a small stroke through the top support or bottom claw. The Magotan is a mid-size sedan under FAW-Volkswagen, with exterior body dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.
I've been driving my Magotan for almost ten years, and I remember the location of the jack very clearly—it's under the floor in the trunk. You need to lift the trunk mat, and you'll usually find a dedicated slot or tool kit pouch near the spare tire, where the jack and wrench are stored. I learned my lesson the first time I changed a tire—I was in a hurry during heavy rain and forgot to level the ground, nearly causing the car to slide downhill. Since then, I always use bricks to stabilize the wheels before working. The location isn’t hard to find, but it’s best for beginners to check the user manual diagrams first, as it might be in the left corner or above the spare tire on the right, depending on the model. Regularly applying lubricant to the jack’s threads prevents rust and jamming—after all, this tool is a lifesaver in emergencies. The Magotan’s overall design is quite practical, and getting familiar with its little details can make daily driving much smoother.
