Jacking point with trolley jack - W204 Estate

[Hairy Boy]

Looking to get some winter wheels/tyres and self-fit to my 2013 W204 AMG Sport Plus Estate.

Going to pickup a trolley jack to make the job easier, where should I be jacking given the trolley jack head won't fit the scissor jack head point properly ?

Thanks in advance for any advance.

Under the diff at the back.

At the front there is a block between engine and gearbox for jacking.

I'd opt for a new low profile jack in conjunction with a "reverse logic" jack pad and use the approved jack points in the sill.

Many diffs have an aluminium cooler which really won't take the abuse of a jack.

you can by very cheap jacking pads to fit the jacking sockets.

Here are some suggested dimensions-- can't vouch for em personally --- I measured the end of the jack dimensions + the circumference of the trolley jack plate and made one out of some waste hardwood :-

Hairy Boy, I know off-topic, but what size of rims did you buy? Was considering a set of rims / winter tyres for my AMG Sport Plus. Thanks.

This may help - it shows most of the jacking positions and where to put the stands.

Just use carpet offcuts/wood to protect the chassis/frame, never bothered with the special protective pads myself on any mercedes (there are too many different types between 1960 and now!)

Note the reviews which give away the real purpose people buy these in the UK:

I had the same question. I bought a cheap (£25?) 2t trolley jack and this fit perfectly with the standard jacking points on the sills. As the jack isn't very long I doubt you'd reach the diff.

These are very high quality but they cost more, they are spring loaded so they stay in place, making them rarer to line up and the lug bolts are vey goos too.
