Wanted to know if anyone is familiar with lift points in the front and rear of a 2012 Golf TDI with manual transmission for using a hydraulic floor jack to lift the vehicle before using jack stands? Thanks

For the rear, my jack fits under the spring mounts so I use those.
in the front I use the LCA rear mounts- sometimes a bit of fiddling to get the jack there.

I lift the rear from the center of the rear subframe, the front I have to do one side a time since the subframe is too far back to get a jack under and centered unless I drive up on ramps first

this is the way

i drive my car onto a couple pieces of 1-2inch thick wood, then jack it from the front and rear subframes
