Safe Trolley Jacking Points - new kit
« on: 16 April 2015, 16:52 »
Just ordered these from Awesome
 
http://www.awesomegti.com/ecs-tuning-jacking-point-kit
 
Video of fitting here

Very easy, very quick to fit and very safe to use - I think they are much better than using the Audi parts.
 
Should fit all models built on the latest platform - watch the video and check you have the standard mounting holes

But they are (some of) the audi parts...

With this, admittedly you do get an adaptor that sits on top of your trolley jack, but you don't get the additional underbody parts that go around the front jacking points.

If I bought that kit, I would personally have to go and get the rest of the correct audi parts to complete it.

Personally I've gone down the route of a modified ice hockey puck on top of my trolley jack and I'll get the audi parts when I get back to the UK.

In my opinion, an expensive solution to a cheaply fixable problem - or I'm just tight lol!

All details are here on kevinm's excellent thread n.b. Part # 8V0 802 847A must be ordered as 8V0 802 847 is too big.  Fitted all parts this week in about 15 minutes. Cost me £48.

I like the look of these also

Question though, once jacked up via these points, where do people place axle stands?

Cheers
