Vw uses lithium grease to stop the rear suspension bushes squeaking

Exactly. VW specifically uses lithium grease ​@@chrisp4899

+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.

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...

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 1 - 8V0825271 1 - 8V0825272 2 - 8V0802847A 1 - 8V0802846 1 - 8V0802845 4 - 8N0804583

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

Larry Richelli 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

I installed one, stops the jack pad from spinning. if you have a box of them, just find one that fits.

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.

+Andy Tsai thanks for considering us for your purchase

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.

yeah that would be an option

@@Deutscheautoparts ...Couldn't just give a direct answer here? Hmmm

very good chance

+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

+David Ellis sorry we don't offer anything for the up as it's not a us model

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.

+PNR Comp Guy yup

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.

its the easiest place to start ; )

HAHAHAHHHHAHHA oh man I had a good laugh!!! tears even!! A good dose of humour goes a long way! Thanks Matty Ice!
