Title: S3 Jacking pads to a MK5 Golf - Can it be done?
Post by: bodger00 on January 17, 2011, 08:48:34 pm: I have heard that this can be done on a Scirocco but can it be done on a MK5 Golf? Anything that makes the car a bit more stable is good news!

Has anyone done this?

Post by: Top Cat on January 17, 2011, 08:54:11 pm: Audi dealers have them for about 15 squid I think, Make sure you stuff them in the correct hole under there. There are 2 holes on the fronts and it can easily be put in the wrong one ( ask JPC ) :laugh: The design is such that once they are locked in with the weight of the car, they are not coming out without a serious fight. :rolleye:

I made one of these out of a block of wood, but mine is not the safest thing in the world.

Well there can be an issue with the Jack pads, there really meant for jacking the car up on a proper ramp, not one side at a time, some user have reported issues with bending the metal under them, mine are fine though.

Post by: Cupra R on January 19, 2011, 09:33:00 am: Anyone know if this little mod would fit a MK2 Leon?

Is a very good mod, however I have never seen anyone talk of this on a MK2 Leon on the Seat forum.

I don't want to order the parts then find out it won't work.

Yeah, I would assume so, however I have"nt had a chance to see under both cars, but after scrutineering Shauns photo's above I'm sure I could see if mine looked the same underneath.

Two holes on the front? Do you meen the two holes at the rear and use the front one? Im confused.

Heres what i bought last week with prices for anyone interested

Ramp Lifting pads from Audi S3 RRP exc VAT
(x1) 8P0 802 845 Front Left Jack Pad £8.03
(x1) 8P0 802 846 Front Right Jack Pad £8.03
(x4) 8N0 804 583 Rubber Buffers £1.53 each
(x2) 8P0 802 847 Plastic Jack Pad Plugs £8.03 each

Sadly i did not get them fitted intime for my car to go into the dealers and i now have large bits of sealer scrapped off and hanging down from the inside of the jacking points on the front of the sills. :sad:

So are the back ones fitted on the holes nearest the front, Or the holes nearest the rear. As Teutonic_Tamer thread also shows the rear ones used. :confused: TTs thread on his fitted to his mk5 (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=95479.10)

Cheers Davey.

Maybe I should of said, I'd bought and fitted a set ages ago.

I now find though that some garages can't get onto them and I can't get to them even with a low slung trolley jack. Car is on a set of Eibach Sportline springs, so must of lowered it too much for these to be of use for me really.

A posting I did on another forum:

Fitting instruction is German, but the picturs tell the complete story:

http://www.a3quattro-forum.de/pdf/Wagenheberaufnahme.pdf (http://www.a3quattro-forum.de/pdf/Wagenheberaufnahme.pdf)

parts numbers:

8N0 804 583 rubber (4 x)
8P0 802 845 cover left front (1 x)
8P0 802 846 cover right front (1 x)
8P0 802 847 cover left + right rear (2 x)

Use some wax spray to conserve the body and silicon to help slip in.

Not the same:

As you can see I prefer the S3 8P / TT 8J parts. Only these close the plastic trim!
