Thanks for the video. Just installed these. For anyone else, the front panel covers slide right out backwards and then drop down once the screw is removed. No need for a tool to pinch the clips. Install same in reverse. You just need to put pressure on the locking tabs as you slide backwards
Thanks for the video. I just installed these pads without lifting the car. Had use a floor jack to push in the first rubber grommet.
Thanks for the video! I installed mine with the car on the ground, super easy to do. Just needed a floor jack to push the front grommets in fully.
I'm watching a different youtube video, someone mentions Audi jack pads in the comments, I google it and what do I see? Paul's face in a video from 2 years ago... why am I not surprised? Great Job ShopDap! Always quality VW and Audi content.
Just finished installing mine this evening!
Just installed. Super awesome! Going to make rotations way easier. 👍
Lithium grease should never be used on rubber or plastic! For rubber and plastic silicone grease should be used!
Vw uses lithium grease to stop the rear suspension bushes squeaking
Exactly. VW specifically uses lithium grease @@chrisp4899
Nice, clearly presented, comprehensive presentation.
i need these!!
Thanks for the video. Installed mine this morning. The video really helped.
Thank you! Your instructions are the best
Installed the kit today, and I have an odd follow-up question:
The front jack pad had a small hole in it, which lines up with a hole the same size in the new trim piece under/around it. Should there be a trim clip there, to hold these together?
I installed one, stops the jack pad from spinning. if you have a box of them, just find one that fits.
For the front are you jacking on top of the plastic trim panel? Or do you have to remove that to jack on the rubber pad underneath?
Also is there a kit for the VW GTI MK8?
Came to the comments wondering the same thing. I'm thinking that nothing needs to be removed prior to jacking up the car, but a clarification on that point would be nice.
Why didn't these come standard?! 😡😡
I have a Honda and a Volkswagen. The Honda has this built-in from the factory.
philo lee the oem jack itself is shit. hate that thing
I agree 100%!
@@Gr8thxAlot I test drove 2018 Accord - it didn't have a light in the glove box, that is unacceptable if you ask me. Also, I've heard (not sure if that's true) that accord doesn't have a low level warning light for a windshield washer fluid. The pads are for DYIers, the light in a glove box is for everyone...
there is a consistent volume issue across all your videos. all throughout the videos there will be 1-2 seconds of dramatically reduced volume.
+okan elkin thanks for the heads up we will have to look ito
Its when you are fading/slicing one shot the next....
@@Deutscheautoparts Hang out more with Charles, he should have some tips for you as his vids are uber slick.
Seems useful, but yowzah - $250 for the set?? I think I'll just jack mine up the old way.
I know. I watched the video then went to the purchase page and just started laughing....no way this is worth that amount. I expected it to be $39.95...haha
You can buy all the pieces from 1stvwparts.com for $54 plus shipping

I just checked these parts at the site you provided and all together the cost is $153.96

That makes no sense I bought two full sets for 107 plus 19 for FedEx shipping yesterday
Did you buy a kit? Part 8V0802847A is $27 and we need 2 of them. That's $54 alone
Paul my understanding of these oem jack pads is that they're for use ONLY with four point lifts?? Using a floor jack on the points puts a lot more force through them. Obviously though your video looked like it went alright. Please could you confirm they're definitely designed to be safe for use with a floor jack vs a lift?
agreed - until I get ANYONE to answer this question I'd not use these "lift point" independently using a floor jack. I have to assume since no one has answered this question in the affirmative anywhere on the internets that, officially, it is a bad idea and not the design intent of the points
Akathe Squid Did you get a definitive answer to this?
No I have not and I kept looking. No one with the authority to state these are strong enough to, or designed to distribute enough load to, support the car was or will do so. ECS sells these frame inserts and a special jack pad and they won't even officially acknowledge that you can use them for anything but 4-point lifts. I remain skeptical.
Note that, yes, each point is designed to essentially support 1/4 the weight of the car, but also when you lift the car off the ground from one point you are loading more than 1/4 the car weight (see both side wheels leave ground when jacking the car? that's way more than 1/4 the weight being supported now at the jack)
I looked around when ECS first began to offer these, but no one would confirm anything, as you know. I know a couple of VW/Audi technicians and they wouldn't trust those points to support on-point jacking. So my inserts just sits there, looking pretty.
On3SlyFox...This is the same issue I found with the MK4, yeah there are these jack points on there BUT they are meant for "lifting ALL 4 corners" at the same time...they are not intended for jacking one corner at a time. I jack my MK4 from the subframe in front with piece of wood spanning subframe in front & put jack stands under pinch rails, in rear I jack beam axle from middle again using piece of wood (to spread load) put jack stands under pinch welds. VW never has made their cars user friendly for DIY.
As I don't have MkVII I have no idea how to (safely lift w/o damage) that series of Mk.
BTW the jack used in this video is the same style I have...that's the best place to start. If you don't have one get the jack first NOT these "jack pads" you just might find the long & low jack is what you need to raise your car safely and w/o damage.
Thanks for the instructions.
life saver! ordering one right now
+Andy Tsai thanks for considering us for your purchase
Could we jack up on the original doublers and place stands on the new jack pads?
yeah that would be an option
Can you jack up the front on the cover panel or do you remove it and jack on the rubber part?
Had these on my MK4 Jetta and loved them. Do you know if these will work on a 2018 MQB Tiguan and 2021 Arteon?
Thank you for this
The b7/nms sedan is like this, cant jack the car up at all and place it on stands, any idea this would work with it as well, I know its not mqb platform but there has got to be another way.
Looking for a kit like this for a 12 Passat.
Would this Jack Pad Kit fit an Australian 2019 Golf R Mk7.5? Cheers, Don (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)
Any solutions for us Europeans with the Polo chassis based cars?
Will these work with the QuickJacks?
would this system work on a B8 audi models? or only MQB platforms?
Is there a kit like this for a 2013 Tiguan?
Will these work on a 2016 audi A3 preface lift?
Are these made for four point lifts ?
@ $250, how many have been sold?
Is this the same for an Audi S3 8V?
Do you have these parts for the VW Passat 2016?
Since it works on GTI (i.e., MQB), would this work on the new 2019+ Jetta (GLI in particular)?
very good chance
Apologies for off topic question: I have grinded (ground?) my gears (synchros) on 3 or 4 occasions in a year of owning my mk7. How concerned should I be regarding the metal flakes in the transmission fluid and the state of my synchros?

@@Deutscheautoparts ...Couldn't just give a direct answer here? Hmmm
The link to the store is broken. Could you please update it?
no i did mean to weld a jacking point on
What model floor jack is that?
I've seen this car around LKN a few times, do you guys sell stuff directly at your location?
+doubleboss00 yes we do. We always recommend placing an order then coming to pick up when the order is ready. We have over 400k part numbers on the site and don't carry them all. PS pickup is an option at check out.
Awesome! I'll have to place an order sometime and drop by
I feel like this kit is missing something to hold the pad in place, there is a hole that lines up.
i assume it works on a Golf R as well?
+PNR Comp Guy yup
I am looking for these pads for a vw up do you have those?
+David Ellis sorry we don't offer anything for the up as it's not a us model
250$?!!! Nah I'll do it the old fashion way
Does't look like there's ANY clearance for stand and jack even with jack at that extreme angle I wish he'd have shown a close-up of the jack and stand in position together and where the jack stand touches the pinch weld.
$250!! Is that with the Audi tax?
Look for the various golf forums out there. There are cheaper options, I won't include the link out of respect for the video creator.
Is something for #GrizzlyTV ??
Paul,
"this kit will make that process much smoother."...and your wallet $250 lighter.
How to jack up your car: First put it up on a lift... nevermnd
