I've never needed my factory Jack's, now I wont have to think about it if I ever do. Thanks for the tutorial 😎..also it reminded me to check the lug wrench on the 01 to see if it fits my aftermarket wheel lugs, also the air in the spares on both TTs...Tomorrow.
Yeah always worth checking the car Jack! Mine had never been used looking at the condition although my wrench has seen plenty of action. I had the wheels repainted when I first got the car and you might notice in the video that the wheel I remove has some scuffs from “kerb rubbing”. That happened 3 weeks after I had them done! All the other 3 are pristine! I don’t know why I chose to demonstrate on that one! Thanks for your comment Scott!
Neither of the front or rear lifting locations shown is correct. The front chassis box section will flatten and deform in the location shown - it's stronger towards the front edge/engine where there's a double skin, and it's best to use a flat plate. The rear subframe was never intended to be loaded/stressed in the way shown which could cause damage - particularly to aged metalwork and bushes. Audi's specified lifting points are the four rubber bungs under the floor - the rears are strong enough to lift a corner at a time however, with the fronts it's best to lift as an axle to evenly distribute the weight and prevent caving the floor in.
Most Audi/VW cars they want you to jack at the pinch points on the body. For the jack, they sell heavy duty rubber pucks online with a slit in the middle I find works best.
Agreed. I actually use a Hockey puck to cushion mine. However after a few uses, the puck distorts as it is not heavy enough duty for the job. So I just use another puck. The benefits of playing hockey!
@@andycharger When I bought mine I saw two options and went with the thicker (4-5 inches) and has worked well. I work on alot of Audi and VW cars sometimes SUVs like a Q7 4.2 I have now.

Lovely and clear instructions as usual. Thanks Andy
Thank you so much for your very kind super thanks, Simon!!! Very Much appreciated 👍
Great tutorial on the factory jack. Will need to use mine soon for replacing both rears. Many thanks :)
No problem Jordan! I’m glad it helped you! 😀👍

Rat nest
Is that what it is? I thought it was a bird nest! Thanks for spotting that! Makes me a little nervous putting my hand in there now!
