  • Jacking up a Tiguan to se on jack stands

    In the past with other, lighter vehicles, I've used a 2' 2x4 on my hydraulic floor jack to raise one side by jacking at the middle of the sill and then placed jack stands at appropriate hard points, not on the sill. I'd do the other side the same way -- slowly, to let the hydraulic jack roll back. Doing just one side was okay to rotate tires, etc.

    I also could find a cross-member or other hard point to jack the front or rear only.

    With B-pillar problems and the weight of the Tiguan MQB, I thought that this might cause damage.

    I'm sure some folks have jacked up their Tiguans, and I'd like their advice as to how to do so and avoid any damage, also the best spots for placing jack stands (not on sill pinch weld).
