Hello All - can someone please confirm where the lift points are on a 2016 Audi TTS when using a floor jack?
Can see the pinch weld for the supplied jack, but want to use a floor jack to lift and then use the pinch weld for jack stands.
There's a rubber attachment visible underneath (both front and back), but not sure if these are the jacking points - see attached images.
Thank you!

Did anyone know what these are? I saw them while under my car last night....

Visited the Audi Parts Department today and looks like these are indeed jack points - the parts person was not able to confirm, but based on the parts description I would assume that they are.
However, these are more than likely designed for a 4 point lift system which elevates the entire car together so I would be very careful if using a single floor jack to lift individual points as it could cause some imbalance while lifting.

And parts printout that Audi was kind enough to provide:

Next task now is to find specific jack adapters to fit - of course they had to use different adapters for the front and rear 
And Audi does not sell any adapters.

Great followup research Vic. Indeed, very unusual and asymmetrical lift points requiring very unusual adapters (although a flat jack saddle would probably be adequate in a non-pinch

These worked out great!!! on my TTRS. I used to use hockey pucks but these straddle the pinch weld perfectly.

Just received my Jackpoint Jackstands. They really are the one-stop-shopping and ultimate safety approach for jack stand type use!

Hi Huey,
The Jackpoint Jackstands looks great - really like the concept as makes it very simple to get the car on jack stands.
Can you confirm whether there is enough space to be able to work under the car - I looked at the specs and they are listed as 13 inches high, which is low compared to a standard jack stand.
