where the black circles you see that stick out you need to go a little further back than them and jack it up from there. Im sure someone else will tell me if im right or wrong.

I found this out too late when i tried jacking up the car from the points where the circles are and unfortunately damaged the car as it caved in crazy.gif just as well i was going to get some side skirts anyway

The best place to jack them is at suspension points and not on the sills. The sills are the correct jacking points but are to soft to hold the car up. I found this out when i took my new car to the local tyre place after a wheel had been reconditioned by Audi(which turned out the wrong colour). He came out to look at it before he would let one of his guys jack my five day old car up to put a the new wheel on it and found the damage from the wheel being taken off before. The manager had a MK5 Golf and said they are exactly the same.

hmm thanks guys, it is confusing alright, i just jacked it along the sill, its like a thin vertical bit, only way i found a solid point was tapping along with a tyre iron till i found solid and jacked it there, but the rubber around the sill still does give way and warp...
