I agree. You have an ultra clean shop and some decent tools. I'm just amazed that your jack didn't go straight through your floorboard. All VW's have uni-bodies. The jack-points are clearly located next to each tire. The point where you jacked your car up is definitely not one of the jack-points. Just looking out for the safety of you and that nice looking ride you have. Peace.
thanks! saves me a long drive. basically here to find out about jack placement. you really do need to rotate tires after 6,000 miles. It's like the rears are coasters! VW 2012 TDI Jetta. Thanks again.
How did you jack the car up on that pinch weld. I ended up bending mine a little just jacking up the passenger rear tire to fix a parking break and putting the jack stand on the reinforced part.
Yeah the method he used is incorrect, I did the same thing and jacked up the car from the thinner pinch weld next to the reinforced area. Ended up bending my pinch weld aswell. ALWAYS Jack up from the reinforced area made for jacking. If you can’t fit the Jack and Jack stands under one lift point. Jack up the front and the rear tire will also come off the ground and you can place a Jack stand under the rear reinforced area.
What about the TPMS sensors? On my Chevy Tahoe the TPMS system sends tire pressures for specific tire locations - I have not rotated the tires on the Tahoe so I'm not sure if I need to reset the TPMS sensor locations. I'm also I'm not sure how the TPMS system is on my wife's Jetta - I don't drive it. Does the TPMS sense specific sensor locations? Does it need to be reset after tire rotation?
My understanding is that VWs use the ABS wheel rotation data to sense tire pressure loss. When you set the TPMS, you are effectively setting the wheel rotations per distance. If the tire pressure decreases, the effective radius of the tire decreases thereby decreasing the effective circumference and increasing the rotations per distance. The TPMS senses the increased rotations and displays an alert that your pressure is off. So the answer is no, when you move a wheel/tire you don’t have to reset the TPMS as it is using the ABS hardware which didn’t move with the wheel.
This is a dangerous video with lots of significant and dangerous errors. Please don't make videos about things you don't know anything about. People are going to get hurt doing this.
@@TimVChannel Nice I have a grey and black se sport I’m lowering mine in the spring bc racing coilovers and 18in Rotiform wheels I’ll make a vid on it then it’s nice to see another se sport on YT it’s kinda hard to find vids on them
No. Pressure can be checked on or off the car. There is no volume difference or temperature difference between on or off the car so pressure can be adjusted and remain the same on or off.

actually if you refer to the manual it will tell you the jack up points

@@mohsanjaved610 yeah I jack by the rear trailing arm mount now or the sub frame and place the jack stands under the reinforced part

Nice work. All the best from Slovenia.
What does it look like for you to double check the lugs and can you go into more depth of how to use the torque wrench?
Love your shop stool with wheels! I switched my steelies to R-line wheels on our 2017 Jetta S. They look SO much better, I can't get over it.
But you changed the front and back wheels at the start of the video so how does that centre ring on the back hub belong to the front wheel?🤔🤔
You lift up were you put the jack stands or frame....never in the middle because eventually it will banana.

Seriously. When I saw the Jack hit the center of that car I cringed. What in the world am I watching.
Do you plan on lowering it?
Yup that is on the list for spring.

Tyre pressure will increase when the holding the car up, no? I think it's meant to be checked with the wheels on. :)

@@TimVChannel OK, thanks.
Thx
No.
