However, I suggest that people get a small, cheap scissors jack to use instead of the OE jack. On most of these car the OE jack socket is pretty weak by now and there is a pretty good chance of a problem there. If you use a scissors jack, you can jack up under the front beam or under the transverse torsion bar housing end plate just in front of either rear wheel. Don't try to jack on the pan. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
