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.

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.

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!
