On the factory assembly line the car is suspended by 4 locating pins which fit into the 4 holes that we are using. Once the whole underside, drive train, engine, etc. is installed, then the wheels can be fitted. Then the car is un-hitched from the assembly line cradle & rests on its wheels for the rest of the assembly line. The two rear holes have flat plastic covers pressed in, & the front holes are covered with the two trim covers.
However on the Audi S3 they fit these “jack locating pads” to move the car around & also to help in lifting the car when at the dealers for a service, due to the low side skirts.
Ever since people first started using the MKI Audi TT jack pad mod on other cars, there have been lots of heated discussions about the strength of the points, & if you should be jacking from there & not the pinch seam welds, etc., etc. I DO NOT want to go over this again here. All I have to say is Google it & make your own mind up, I prefer to have straight pinch seam welds. I have used this modification on previous VAG cars with no problems, & have now had it on my MK7 Golf for 1yr. I have been jacking my car up & down for various other mods, changing the alloys & have no problems using these Audi jack pads. I will say this, I have two 3ton trolley jacks, & using one jack each side can lift the whole front or rear of the car. Half the cars weight is still on the ground & ¼ is on each jack as per the factory. If I use one jack to lift a side, then half of the cars weight is on the jack. I try to get a 3ton stand under the other pinch seam weld on the same side to support (using a thick newspaper packer between the stand & pinch seam weld)

WARNING:-
If you look at the original information on “kevinm” thread you will notice that there was a mistake over the part numbers for the rear jack socket pads. This ended up with myself & another member buying the wrong parts. YOU MUST make sure you get the rear jack socket pad ending with “A” (PR codes K8R=Sportsback, K8S=Sedan) otherwise you will get the wrong version which is a longer pad from the Hatchback (PR-K8G).
