I was in a pinch the other evening and had to resort to using the Audi jack...for the very first (and last) time. Car was on level ground, jack was placed correctly and not angled when the car was up. I had removed the old wheel, placed the new one on, and just started the second lug bolt when I hear a loud pop and the car drops. I am adamant about not having any part of my body under any car that isn't jackstan'd...this is a perfect example of why.









Not only is there a very very narrow bearing surface, but there's no constraint to keep the span from opening up under load! Cripes, c'mon Audi!! :/
