Reviews of OEM Volkswagen jack

Those jacks are straight up dangerous. VW had them for a while too. The only time Ive had a car slip off a jack was my wifes VW UP! On one of these. Even a lightweight super compact like the UP! Was swaying around like crazy. I couldnt even imagine lifting something heavier like an MB.

Had one that came with my 84 VW Jetta. Easiest jack to use to change a tire. Can be dangerous if not used correctly though. But that's the same with all jacks.

The spare fit with no issue, but the jack was the same one shown by the OP and the threaded rod interfered with the side skirt on the front. So I took the jack out of my wife's Jetta and it worked perfectly (and is a lot less scary).

I put my dub on jackstands and was doing the brakes I just got the front passenger side wheel off and for some reason layed it up the suspension right there underneath the rotor and fender. well i was work with the brakes and the factory jack just collapsed on itself.
