In this post, we are going to treat a theme that can be of use to most of us. If it’s because you have a flat tire, or you want to change your brake pads, knowing where the jack is on a Citroen Jumper is important. In fact, without the jack, you won’t have the ability to lift your car and therefore change a wheel, or, access the elements behind it such as the brake pads for example. To achieve this, we will first show you the different types of jacks, then, where the jack is on an Citroen Jumper, and finally, how to use the jack on your car.

What are the different types of jacks for Citroen Jumper?

So we begin our article with the different types of jacks that exist. In fact, although generally speaking most Citroen Jumper will be equipped with the same sort of jack, there are still different styles with different uses, here they are:

  • The single-arm screw jack for Citroen Jumper : The first type of jack, the most traditional and cheapest of all, is generally determined on entry-level models, or with few options. This sort of jack has only one articulated arm that is placed under the motor vehicle to lift it. This sort of jack is light, easy to use, but does not enable you to lift large loads.
  • The double-arm screw jack for Citroen Jumper : It uses exactly the same basic principle as the jack seen above, that is, a worm screw that will enable screwing to raise the jack, and unscrewing to lower it, on the other hand the use of a double arm will enable to have a more stable jack that can lift a higher payload.
  • The hydraulic jack for Citroen Jumper : This sort of jack is not standard equipment on cars, and is usually only supplied with a premium model or bought in motor vehicle centres. These jacks are heavier, generally less bulky and have the advantage of being much simpler to utilise and able to lift a larger load. It would cost between 20 and 50 euros to buy them, here is a simple and efficient model from Oscaro.

We are going to give you the different locations of the jack on your motor vehicle, these locations might change based on the year and the finish of your Citroen Jumper:

  • The most common location for a jack is in the trunk of your Citroen Jumper. To reach it, just lift the carpet in the trunk and you should find it and the spare tire.
  • In the rear wheel arch: Similar but less common location, your jack might be in your trunk, but on the side of the trunk, to reach it you just have to open the hatch in the right component of your trunk.
