How do the slotted puck ones work ? Do they use the same mounting holes as these ?

the puck fits onto the jacking points. These arent fixed in place like the ones you mentioned but sit in the cup of the trolley jack http://www.stiblog.com/modifications/diy/diy-pinch-weld-adapter/ Locating the jack points on the car body in all important :thinking:http://www.psituning.com/product.php/21370/ecs_volkswagen___audi_jack_pad_adapter.

its like this one, but with a slot cut in it (use angle grinder/disc cutter)

Slot aligns with reinforced section of cill...

I went through a few different pucks and found them to be either too soft, or didn't fit in my jacks properly. Those ones are perfect for the Halfords trolley jacks I have.
Regarding the S3 jacking points, I'm not a fan. I'm sure I read online ages ago that those points on the bodywork are for transporting the shell around the factory and not designed to be jacked up frequently, hence why they strengthen up the pinch welded part of the sill significantly and is the official jack point. Not even dealers use the S3 pads, or even fit them as standard at the factory. Using those points on the MK4 platform caused the floor to collapse when Coilover users kept jacking the car up for adjustments. You have been warned :smiley:

So if the pucks are relatively soft, any other suggestions as I am planning on buying a trolley now having second thoughts
Thanks
The ones I linked to on Amazon are perfect :happy2:

OK, you'll need a flat bottom puck then.

Are they folded over? That happens a lot with these cars. People put the jack in the wrong place, or they use the scissor jack and it falls out, understeer off the road and up a kerb.....all manner of reasons!
Yeah they are annoyingly. They look like.... well I wont say what they look like

On my old MK4 R32, my sills (front and rear, and both sides!) literally looked like someone had put the car on it's roof and then smashed the living crap out of the sills with a sledgehammer. I would love to take said hammer to some previous owners heads sometimes.
