So, at home I prefer to use a trolley jack to raise cars skyward. With a "new" car I like to put my mind at ease by doing a bit of research first and I found a very useful image which shows where the lift points are, and where to put axle stands, so thank you @Skipton01.
Normally I would put a block of wood between the chassis lift point and jack, to spread the weight and add some protection, but with the A2's aluminium underbody I wondered if this is a good idea? Are the rubber "hockey puck" shaped jack adapters a better idea?
To throw a spanner in the works, just last night I stumbled upon a YouTube video showing what look like to be these Audi TT jacking pad adapters being fitted to the A2 underbody lift points. Does any one have experience of these adapters? Are they a good or bad idea? Will they prevent the car being put on a 2/4 post lift at a later date?
And input appreciated, thanks!
