Alternative Front and Back Jack Points for A4 B7

[zcook]

Is there a place where I can use a hydraulic jack to safely jack up the rear and/or the front end, so that I don't have to jack it up twice to put the jack stands in? Thanks

I'd really like to know this too.

I think it shows you in the owners manual.

It does not show in the US owners manual. It shows the jack points for passenger side/drivers side jacking, but not front/back. Thanks.

erm , I'm not sure there is one for what your after then, as the safe points are where the jack stands would go.

Old thread revival... Need to get my car up in the air for bumper removal. Is there a central front jacking point on the B7 so that both axel stands can be slotted in at the same time? To avoid lifting one corner at a time and putting stress on parts of the car?

I Jack up the front on one side then put axel stand, then do the same on the other side, you wont damage anything.

Same principle for A4

The front subframe is a good solid enough point to jack up from, then position the axle stands under the sills or subframe.

FYI you can get the bumper off without using a jack if youve got flexible wrists
