had a very flat tired this morning...and a knight in shining armour was going to change it for me. He got the tyre out, and bits and pieces...but then couldnt find the jack. DOH!!!!

So where is it meant to be? or have I just not got one?

I have a P reg, Punto 1.6i sporting. Anyone know?

thank you that will be all

it should have been in middle of spare wheel

ah:chin:

you can get nice trolly jacks for about £15,

i got the full set off bits that go in the middle of the wheel for £3 from a scrapyard, try there first.

thank you, best try get hold one of one soon somehow

well if its like a sei kit, then it will be emergency tools for changing the wheel such as screwdrivers, wrenches etc

there is a jack,
a large jack handle
a screw driver
and a plastic thing wich is an adaptor for the nuts that hold the rear lights onto the car.

that bit also fits over the wheel nuts to allow you to align them in the holes before using the wheel brace. It's called the "special tool" lol

A scrap yard/breakers yard should be able to supply you with one. I should know, I hit a kerb a few years back in ice, buckled my wheel, went to change it and shock horror...no jack! (although I could have sworn I had one). Had to get the AA out to change the wheel for me

Anyway, paid £5 at a breakers yard for a standard Punto jack.

punto jack is quite good too! Its a black powder coated (so it don't rust) square thing, that mounts underneath car quite well and is a doddle to use, much easier than audi offerings, they are sort of half a jack, and rely totally on you being on a smooth level surface of a decent quality autobahn, not a gravelly car park!

Got a puncture on punto few months back, thought it was just stones in tyre so sped up quite a bit, and hit a fav corner of mine at a slightly enthusiastic speed, upon entering corner tyre was fully inflated, upon apex there must have been 10psi, upon some wild steering input there was nothing, good thing nothing was coming the other way otherwise 'wipeout' springs to mind

I cracked my plastic light removing tool, was cheeky at scrapyard and pocketed it, I did however pay for everything else I got.
