been lucky there as my VW dealer couldn't order them as they were locked on his system or something.

got a 10% from audi and paid about £20 for the 8 items.

these are a good little mod IMO

If the dealer is not a dealer for the Audi brand the system puts up 'brand inhibited' and won't allow them to order them. (I have the screen shots of when i ordered). I hit this issue as the VW dealer i get parts from were only VW dealers and not Audi dealers so they had to order them via TPS for me.

Strange  :undecided:... They are only a VW dealer but he said I would have them on Wednesday..  :smiley:

Maybe they just ring the Audi dealer and get them to send them on to them..

If you look at Teutonics link and then look at my link you will see that the TT ones are simply push in ones with a much low height than the S3 ones.
The S3 ones stick down more and the front ones come with the covers built in so you don't loose the cover.

Heres the S3 ones



Heres the TT ones


Managed to get all of the above apart from 8N0 804 593 got some weird looking metal things.  When looking on ETKA it looked like the pic but thats not what turned up.  He is ordering me 8 more just in case they picked the wrong item.

when i removed my plastic plugs the paint was very thin inside the hole. maybe the plastic rubs it off? also a lot of water ran out of the front end ones when i pulled the cover off.

i added loads grease inside the box section and on the underside of the hole. also helps the rubber push in easier.

I know this is an old thread but I never got round to fitting these,
I was going to fit them over the holidays but then found this, not so sure now, anyone want to buy a spare set of jacking points..  :undecided:

Quote from: VWVortex
This is supposedly a quote from VW:  Only to be used when lifting the entire vehicle using a floor lift. When used together they distribute the weight of the vehicle over the four points. If you use only one at a time, you are putting too much weight on one point and may bend the floor pan.
