Where are the best places to jack up the 206 GTI 180? A normal 206 is easy to use the rear beam but can't see a good spot on the 180 as the rear suspension is different. And the front? I am referring to when using a hydraulic jack, not the peugeot one. Thanks

Don't use the sills. You'll ruin the underseal and crush them eventually. That's a massive load on a tiny area,

Drive onto some blocks of timber and use the front subframe - with some timber between jack head and subframe to spread the load.

If you just want to lift one side use the box section under the floor. There is a big wide one under the front floor closest to the wheel and it runs along the side half the length of the floor..

To lift one rear wheel a trolley jack under the rear damper mount on the trailing arm is fine to use.

Yep, don't want to use the sills, they bend easily and crumble!
