Hi All,

I have a 2007 MK7 SWB, low roof transit, and I need to get underneath to secure some bolts for some battons on the floor of the load area, and some other jobs.

I will only need to jack one end at a time (either front or back).

Not sure what weight axle stand I'll need though.

On the vehicle identification plate in the passenger side door frame, there are four different weights given, and I'm not sure which one is applicable for my vehicle. See attached.

4CP B 2600kg
3B R 3500kg
AA D 1450kg
V2 1475kg

I'm not sure whether to go for 2Tonne or 3 Tonne.
I'm guessing I'll need 3 tonne (I'm also going to deck out the back for a camper conversion, so will add a bit of weight for bed etc, and still want to be able to jack up one side), bit I don't know if I need 3 tonne per stand or 3 tonne per pair?, and there's a significant cost difference.

...especially since one of the weights is 3500kg! I'm sure it's not that heavy, but how can I find out which if the four codes above applies to my van?

Many Thanks

2600 max permissable weight
3500 max train weight (towing)
1450 max front axle weight
1475 max rear axle weight

Technically 2ton would be fine, but then it depends what's in the back in reality!

I'd buy the heavier ones, doubt there is much difference in cost.

Thanks!

Stupid question....So is that 2 ton per axle?

So 2 ton per axle stand pair would be fine rather than 2 ton per axke stand?

I am thinking I'll go for 3 ton oer pair.

Your whole van will weight much less that 2 tons empty....my LWB RWD high roof only weighs just over 2 tons with me in it and nowt in the back, went over a public weighbridge a couple of months ago.
