Can somebody show (diagram?) where to position axle stands, please?

 

As Above, from 3.05 onwards.

 

 

 

 

Thanks, AG Falco

Was hoping for specific point on Superb 3?

Front or rear, and what are you going to do?

 

Thanks, AG Falco

Front. Oil/filter change.

I asked about this not too long ago

 

 

3rd reply, 2nd & 3rd picture should help you 

 

Front....

 

Rear. Remove plastic cover first.....

2 very surprising points in this video!

 

1st point: Use an alloy wheel as a back-up????  This guy has really too much money! The large pieces of wood in the sealey guide is a much better idea!

 

2nd point: tightening the wheel screws in a row 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 is not the state of the art from a dully qualified mechanic. Rather use 1 / 3 / 5 / 2 / 4 for a better centering and to be sure the the wheel is correctly pressed against the brake disc.

+1

never to up the nuts in that sequence - 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 !!!

likewise when un-doing the nuts.

 

i always use the star-shape pattern, as u've pointed out.

Looks like the guy in the video has never actually done anything on a car save for changing the wheel.

 

When working on the suspension the last place you want the stand is under the suspension . . .

Not sure where is the safest point for axle stands, a lot of plastics underneath

I am thinking about here 😒🤔

@The1effect - i was wondering why the underbelly of ur car looked very different to mine, including the wheel-arch liner where it meets the underbelly.......then i noticed ur profile says u have a 2016 Octavia SE L.

 

sorry - i don't know where the axle point r on the mk3 Octavia.

u should ask the question in the mk3 Octavia forum.

 

this is how it looks, close-up, on the mk3 Superb......
