better safe than sorry when crawling underneath, then lower onto axel stands under jacking points.

Why all that expense as those lift pads are cheaper when bought directly from an Audi dealer.
You'll need four of both.

Mandy... those ones really chew the chassis of your car up, avoid.

Ah right, I thought the Halfords one might be alright cos it got some good reviews. I'm not looking to buy one anyway.

Or do the S3 jacking points for about 40quid.

Lots of conflicting advice when it comes to these bungs. Allegedly they're designed for a 2 post lift, where the weight is distributed between all 4 points at the same time.

Some for sale here in case anyone wants one?!
