FWIW, IIRC Audi documentation specifically advises _against_ using any 
places other than the normal jacking points to jack the car.  As a point of 
interest, do the dealers use these jack points when raising the car on a hoist?

IIRC (again), 'someone' mentioned a while ago that there was some sort of 
adapter that spanned the underside of the car from jack point to jack 
point.  A floor jack could then be used to lift the car from the centre of 
the adapter.
