Default C4 Jack -Will it work under a C5?

Like the topic says - Will a C4 jack work under a C5. I'm looking for somehting cheap just in case I have to pull a wheel off. Are there any issues with the tire pressure senor if I pull a wheel off?

Thanks :auto:

The best bang for the buck is the "little lift" from a CF member (C5 Frederik) across the big pond. Here are 2 links about this lift. I got one and I'm very pleased with how well it works. You won't be sorry and C5 Frederik is a great guy to boot!

Also, there are no issues to worry about with the tire pressure senor if you pull a wheel off. You won't notice anything diferent than any other car. :)

If I recall the C4 has a pretty small top, where it fits into the notch. I picked a jack up with a very flat top for $8 at the local junkyard. No clue what car it came off, but they had a ton of them, and I picked one with a wide flat top.

Here is a picture of mine:




I have used it to pull a tire off and it is very stable. For $8, I can't complain. It stays in the car all the time due to real tires versus run flats.
