I have a 2002 Golf Mk4 2.0 and I need to swap my winter tires for summers (I know, I'm a bit late). I’ve got two sets of wheels, a trolley jack, and two axle stands.

The issue is that my car has some rust issues on the sides, so I’m really worried about using the official jacking points. I don't want the jack to crunch through the metal.

Where can I safely lift the car and place the axle stands without damaging the body? Are there any solid subframe points or engine cradle spots you guys recommend for the Mk4 platform?
