theres not really a type 3 specific jack i dont think... trolley or scissor jacks work fine. just put it under the rear torsion housing for the back and the front beam for the front..

I think your better off getting small scissor jack from Laser or Charade from wreckers. The VW jack may let you down at the most inconvenient time, thats why I have 2 VW jacks sitting in the corner doing nothing.

How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 😂 UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list.

A small hydraulic trolley jack used properly is much safer in my opinion than any of these jacks. cheers

True but not what I want to carry around in my boot at any time. All good and well if your at home but I think we are talking road side emergencies.grumble wrote:A small hydraulic trolley jack used properly is much safer in my opinion than any of these jacks. cheers

They don't take up much more space than the widow makers and are much more stable.

I cleaned up my original jack and while it does work it can slip when lowering so that the car would drop 2 or 3 inches in a jolt so it's a bit scary. It looks cool in it's place under the bonet but I would only use it for emergencies. At home I use a trolley jack.

that is exactly why I suggested a small trolley jack,i have seen them drop a lot of times as you described.There is no substitute for safety!
