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.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion · Original poster
Be extra careful on the driver's side, as the aircon pipes run very close to the jacking points, and it is all too easy to damage them.

You'll need a low entry jack, and (ideally) use a jack pad or hockey puck.

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

Just under the sills - just behind the front wheel, and just in front of the back wheel - you'll see the jacking points, with an oval hole for the lug on the standard jack. You'll need a low entry jack, and (ideally) use a jack pad or hockey puck. Be extra careful on the driver's side, as the aircon pipes run very close to the jacking points, and it is all too easy to damage them.

POST 2Original post

Sooo, out comes the hydraulic trolley jack - haven't used this to raise the 996 before, so before I push the floorpan in, could anyone give me a bit of guidance on best placement back and front? Thanks. J

POST 4Original post
