Can anyone help please?

I am wanting to jack my car up and remove the wheels to give the car a good clean and service and check pads etc...

When I look on the web there seems to be so many theories on doing this and not sure how sound the advice is.

Do I need to remove all the under tray before i can Jack it up or is it possible while tray is in place?

Any pictures would be great help as I have nothing for reference.

The car is immaculate so it should be easy to work on.

I hope someone can help me out there with this?

Thanks

no need to remove tray to take wheels off

I have no stickers under my car? So is there any other clues to where you put the jack if stickers have been removed?

Thanks

Are the other jacking points marked with a sticker or just the ones below the doors in the middle?

Just the one's below the door.

Take my advice with jacking the car: always use a decent bit of wood between the jack and the chassis and watch for the jack moving and slipping off whilst raising.

No stickers at all on mine, just follow the diagram.

No stickers either. Use a piece of wood, look for points where chassis beams join at a right angle :

- Somewhere around the door handle line, ahead of the middle undertray

- At the front wheel attachment point for the suspension, right before the front undertray

- If you remove the rear diffuser, there are two other points where the toe links attach. Use these only as needed.

 

 

Also, instead of a piece of wood, I like to use hockey pucks so the jack doesn't slip. It won't crack either.
