Facelift S3 Trolley Jack Lifting Points

[Fozzer]

I had cause to change 2 of my tyres over yesterday and was going to use my trolley jack.
I located the ‘V’ points on the cills but when I came to look underneath for a jacking point it all looked pretty plasticy and not very solid.
There is a lip into which the supplied jack fits but to the front seems to be part of the cill and to the rear is plastic underbody.
I finished up getting the supplied jack out of the boot and using that one in the lip.
So.....should I be using this lip as the point to jack up the car even though the trolley jack has a rubber cushion at the top of the jack.
Thanks

Same jacking points as on the S3: https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2137

Yes, it’s a poor arrangement. However, you can buy a hard rubber pad on eBay which sits on the top of a trolley jack and has a slot which fits the body seam. Only cost a couple of pounds. I think they are made from hockey pucks! I have one and it works well.

Thanks Guys, appreciate your help.
I have the rubber puck but it doesn’t have a slot in it so will check out the eBay ones.

Just search for Audi A3 jack pads, you’ll find lots of hits,
