I’m going to service my ’06 Jetta DSG and I want to try the drain and measure method. However, I’ve looked and can’t find how to make sure the vehicle is “level”. I noticed on a utube video that they put a small level on the glass of the sunroof. Nice idea but my sunroof glass is curved.
I looked in the Bentley manual and it says “level the vehicle” with no specific location to put a level. I know that on some tail wheel aircraft we use the cabin door sill to level the aircraft for weight and balance checks.
If nothing else I guess I’ll use the frame rail that has the jack pads as a starting point. What does everyone else do?
Thanks, Steve.
