Axle stand location

[Rockbox]

Hi just wondering were the axle stand point is on the front end of a Leon if there is one.
Having quickly looked underneath cannot see anything obvious just plastic.

Thanks.

Safe jacking points and Jack stands location

Looking for some help on this, I'm currently starting to learn to do my own general maintenence on my 2010 bocanegra. Planning on changing my brake pads this weekend. Where would I go about putting my jack stands and using my trolley jack? The problem I'm having at the moment is that I can...

The lifting points for a workshop lift (which presumably can be used for axle stands also) are hidden under a small plastic cover just behind the front wheel arches (part # 17 in the drawing below). Fixed with a series of tabs and a Torx head bolt.

@Seriously? , are you sure that workshops are using these points, I'm sure that workshop lifts use the 4 - off emergency jack points - where the 4 - off strong points are located.

Ours does: I only know this because last time it was in for a service, they didn't refit the nearside one properly.

Oh well, finding that out means something.

I've noticed these covers on a SEAT Arona as well, I thought that at least originally, no where used these points to lift the car, but there was a kit of parts available that allowed you to retro fit "lifting point protectors" to Golf/Ibiza/A3 and probably Octavia.

I sort of hinted at my older daughter's partner that getting a set of them for her SEAT Leon Cupra could be useful for when lifting up that car using trolley jacks - but that went no where.

On the Leon, under the cover is a round pressing in the floor pan. It's obviously been used for lifting on our car; there's 'witness marks' in the underseal

There used to be a lot of chatter about using these points on VW Group car bodies for DIYers to jack on, although I still think that these 4 points are designed into all or most VW Group car bodies to make it easier and safer to move the bare bodies around assembly plant production lines, ie points to secure moving equipment to bare body shells. The fact that some cars, or maybe moving forward, all new designs of cars, have removable panels covering the front ones does really suggest that they are now intended to be used for supporting or lifting fully built up cars.
