Still no ideas as to where to put axle stands?

I started the other thread about this a while ago and I could not find and still have not found any more information about this. I was told by Audi that you should not use the 4 point lift positions with a trolley jack for the reasons already stated in this thread, I used the normal jacking...

I made a fine job of cleaning the garage door, the fence and any body walking past.

Thanks for that, I will have another go when the rain stops.

Has any body got any suggestions on how to adjust the washer jets, I tried this morning and ended up taking the whole unit out because I had moved one so much I couldn't see to move it back again. So I was wondering if there was an easier way (or a special tool) to adjust them?

Thank you for the photos Battlekrapz I still haven't been able to find a suitable place to put axle stands. Is that a 1.25 ton jack you are using and what make is it?

Still waiting for a reply to 2 emails I sent to them in May last year, I rang them eventually and still didn't get a proper answer? I only wanted to know where to place axle stands.

Thanks coolguy found it in the spam folder.

I signed up to this when AudiSparks first posted but have not received the email with all the details as it said on the website. Has anybody else received the email?

I had the same idea as you and after looking at the doughnut things that are supposed to sit on the dash (I don't think I would trust them not to fall off) and the Brodit that has been mentioned I made my own. I bought the Brodit mount that screws to the one that fits between the air vents and...

After all this time looking where to put axle stands I have phoned Audi customer services (after 2 unanswered emails) and their answer was take it to your local Audi centre and if you do jack the car up do not use axle stands on the jacking points. So I am back to my original plan, jack the car...

It is in the glove box, open the glove box you need to get on your knees and you will see a pull type thing (sorry can't think what to call it) pull that and you will see all the fuses. Took me a visit to the dealer to find where it is, the hand book is written for a left hand drive car!

Going back to the cigarette lighter, does anybody know why the manual tells you not to use the cigarette lighter as a power outlet, (without going and getting the book I think it says don't use for extended periods). I asked at the dealers and they didn't have a clue and I can't find anything on...

Mine came with the storage pack, only 1 under seat box and that was under the drivers seat with the first aid kit in it. I have read that you can buy one to go under the passenger seat but I don't know how much it is.

Thanks Doug, I hope the chemo is going well and you will soon be fully fit again.
