Jack points
Jack points... upon picking up my car today, I noticed little dents where the jack point is, checked the showroom car and it was just the same... I pointed this out and the guy said it's the markers for the Jack points. I do believe him but wanted to double check... is that normal? 

Arrived 23rd March '09 - Lovin' it

They're little inverted triangle indentations.

Re: Jack points
You're not the first to ask this on the forum, yet I thought this was common knowledge on modern cars. Maybe it's just VAG cars?
Anyway, that's what the forum is for, to get answers!

Re: Jack points

I looked at the EOS in the showroom and it didn't have any.
Thanks for the info, learn't loads from this forum and still continue to!

Re: Jack points
Lol a bit like me then - when will VW offer an owners online bit where you can download the manual for your car - for my brothers X5 he can go online and get manuals as well as parts diagrams etceasybreeze wrote:I don't normally touch manuals to keep them in perfect condition :oops:
At least if they were online you could always get the latest revision, mine was already dated when I picked up my car few months ago not to mention full of contradictions.

Re: Jack points
I'm able to keep manuals in perfect condition but still read them...easybreeze wrote:I don't normally touch manuals to keep them in perfect condition :oops:

I wouldn't not buy a car second hand just because the owner had read the manual, and there was perhaps a natural crease in the manual where the pages have been turned... More important things to worry about in life!!
