Re: EOI: Car weigh-in session
A normal trolley jack doesn't fit under mine either and it's not that low. I normally drive up on planks of wood to jack it up

Seeing that I had very little to do this morning (baby and wife asleep, son at kindy) I decided to have a dry run putting the GTI on the scales.
No Driver:
With Driver ie my fat ass:
On the scales:
So Golf GTI 07 4 door with stock suspension, no driver, nearly empty fuel tank and 32psi in the tyres is 3163lbs or 1434kg
with a 62.9% front, 36.9% rear weight distribution.Comment

Bought a 1400kg floor jack today. So no one has to bring any tools.Comment

Disagree. My car's 1600 and I'll only use one rated 1600+. Even the one I have doesn't feel super safe. I've got both a 14 and 16.
But thanks for getting one

Better safe then sorry.
So is the extra 200+ kg between the Golf R and the GTI is the 4 wheel drive system?Comment

Definitely contributes. Heavier wheel/tyre, sound deadening, seats, engine, exhaust, electrical components...just speculating.Click or tap --> MY13 CW Golf R | Manual | ACC (deleted) | 19" Black Talladegas (sold) | Satnav-Dynaudio
