My old Vectra was the same, I've seen those but since went to A3 nothing that a bit force has not solved (so far).

Used the impact gun to crack the seal and breaker bar got it moving, now have a m14 impact socket in the arsenal too !

Bound to have crud on them as when I did the calipers, the holder was welded on with crud, snapped a m14 getting it off!

Yeah this is very true, there's a garage down the road that rent bays by the half day, so will give them a call. Not hard jobs, just pain getting the car up in the air a bit to get to top of shock.

Cheers for that, I've thought about that, might use that for jacking and use the "hockey puck" on the stands at the sill jacking point, going to be doing springs too so will need to drop the cross member. The joys of dependent axles and needing to get under the back of car. Other option is see if I can hire a bay with a lift for a day.

Hi folks, looking at getting the back of the a3 8va sportback on stands, but not 100% sure on location as always jacked up on the seam, however I need to the shocks so need to right under the car! Seen some 8V with blocks here for jacking (behind the reinforced lip) for jacking etc, but think I might be missing them, can anyone shed any light on the matter please.
