Skoda Octavia VRS Mk3 Jacking Points

 

I am wanting to swap a set of wheels around on my VRS shortly and investing in the stuff to give this a go myself at home for the first time.

 

Could someone just advise is the jacking points on the sill on my car or can you move the jacking points in closer towards middle of the car? If someone would be kind enough to show where the correct jacking points are, someone said to me a trolley jack may not be suitable as I'd be jacking up on the sills, although this does't sound correct?

 

Only other place I can see to jack up on is in photo attached, would this be better? Don't really want to jack up on sills if I can help it.

 

The jack I'm wanting to order only has flat bottom lifting area so would be no good lifting on sills.

 

Also someone suggested I needed these to use a trolley jack but I'm confused as others say that you can lift in area outlined in the photo, it's all confusing and very new to all of this as want to learn to do it myself.

Thanks all

The jacking points are on the seal seam directly below the arrows. You can see where they're reinforced so probably have a few cm either way. You need a slotted jacking puck to go on top of the jack.
