Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

a Jack + decent set of axle stands or ramps if you can get it up them, i cant get my MkV up my ramps as the front lip hits.1986 MkII Golf GTI 16V (Sold), 2005 MkV Golf GTI (Sold), 2007 Polo GTI (Sold), 2011 Polo 66TDI (Selling), 2012 Passat 125 TDI Bluemotion, 2013 Scirocco R (Due October!) -
i dont use my stupid VW jack thats for sure.
The first time i used the piece of **** it slipped on the concrete while the car was off the ground, and the car bent it. Very lucky it didnt damage the car, i got another jack through warranty.

I just use a big 2ton trolley jack (as that's what I have at home) & how I use it depend's on how low the car is.
The sill panels are strong as in the jacking point's, as that's where the hoist arm/pads go onto.
If you have alook for the arrow's along the sill, you'll see how thick the sill get's at those point's in question.Comment
