Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

If I could borrow the wheels I would not drive the car, as I have another car which I use day to day.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 996 and want to have the wheels re furbished. This will entail me putting the car on blocks. My problem is that I am not sure where to place the trolley jack so as not to damage the car. Can any one help. Alan

POST 2Original post

If you look under the sills you will see a round jacking point at the front and rear. Be careful not to catch the aircon pipes on the driver's side, as they are quite close.

POST 3Original post

I've little arrows on sills pointing downwards indicating position for jack!

POST 4Original post

I can only offer 944 advice but it might be the same.. When I put my car on four axel stands to remove the wheels I jack it up on the larger cental jacking point (mid sill) then place stands under the front & rear points mentioned above. Repeat for both sides but watch the stands carefully as you jack up the 2nd side because sometimes it can slip slightly on the stands.

POST 5Original post

If your based anywhere near Dorset, i have a spre set of wheels which you could borrow, save any chance of it falling of its blocks/ axle stands

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Andrew Thats very kind of you to offer the spare set of wheels. It just goes to prove how helpful Porsche Club members are. I have not made any arrangements to have the wheels refurbed. but hope to deal with this shortly. I live near to Basingstoke so Dorset is not to far. If I could borrow the wheels I would not drive the car, as I have another car which I use day to day. I must admit I was fairly dubious about having the car on blocks and risking the car falling off ,just my luck. My telephone No is 01256 861034. E mail [email removed] . Kind regards Alan
