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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Jacks and larger tires

    Hey, sorry this has probably been asked before:

    1. Does the standard jack still work once you start fitting larger tyres? Once you add a suspension lift?
    2. What do you take offroad as a jack for your T5?

    Thanks

        Hi Sam,

        I use a Omega BST2000 bottle jack, one of the lads on here got one with his Trakka, as the 3200kg GVM doesn't come with a jack.

        there is a thread on here that led me to getting one.



        I haven't had to use it out on the road, but i've used it to jack up the van when fitting the diesel heater and it worked fine (only used the jack to fit jack stands around the van)

          Hey many thanks for pointing to that thread. Wondering where you got it from, and if it will jack your van when you have a completely flat tyre?

            I ordered mine from Blackwoods, i can't recall how much i paid.

            I'll measure the jack height today against the tire and the lifting point, and the height of the sidewall to confirm.

              I bought this kit with a few extras to create a safe jacking and working platform for my raised van.

              Not cheap but solved the issue.
