Hi everyone,

I know there are quite a few threads about jacking points, but I couldn't find an answer to this specific question.

My Octavia has this rubber mount located just behind the pinch weld, and it looks very similar to the VAG OEM jacking point.

Is it safe to lift the car using a floor jack on this point, or to place a jack stand under it to support the vehicle?

I've attached a photo of the part I'm referring to.

Thanks in advance!

Was this car bought used, if so I'd reckon that the previous owner fitted these Audi TT Mk1 jacking point protectors, and either did not bother to also fit the hard plastic locking element to them - or, attempted to remove them before the sale but failed to get the rubber part out of the body.

I'd be a bit wary about using these rubber pads until you have bought the plastic locking element that fits inside them.

If you need the part number for the hard plastic locking element I can find it and hand it over - there should be 4 of these pads - do none of them have a hard plastic locking element fitted into them?
