The other day I finished installing my
OEM Audi Jack Pad Adapters. I had installed the grommets and inserts previously, but broke most of the clips on the plastic under trim when putting them in. A lot of people re-use the trim pieces and cut holes for the jack pads with a hole saw, but since mine were broken anyways I was able to track down (with the help of forum member
DPRider2!) a matching Audi trim part with a cutout already in place.
These are the part numbers:
Underbody Cover - Front Right --> 8V0825272
Underbody Cover - Front Left --> 8V0825271
ECS and DAP have them for ~$15-20 a piece, and e-acca.com has them for ~$5 each if you're willing to wait for overseas shipment. I ordered from DAP, which I believe they then have to order from VW so it took awhile to receive.
Here is a comparison between the VW trim piece (bottom) and the Audi trim piece (top):
You can see they are pretty much identical except for the circular cut out.
Nice and clean once installed:
Thought others may be interested vs. using the hole saw method.
BTW, I have seen claims that these jack pads can only be used with a 4 point lift. While that may be their intent, I have used them several times and I am way more comfortable using these as jacking points as opposed to the subframe. Now if I need to lift the car quickly and safely, I back the rear onto ramps, jack up the front from the jack pad adapters, place jack stands on the pinch welds where they belong, and then place the jack under the subframe bolt for extra failsafe.
