its best to get rid of all jacking points, they are reust traps. i thought my mk3 was solid because the jacking points were solid. when i took the carpet up the floor had rotted through inside the jacking point. i could still ack the car up on it, but i cut them out and plated them over as they just trapped water and were full of flakey rust and crap.

Just make up a plate to cover where its been.

 

You wouldnt actually jack the car up from this point, certainly not with the standard jack?
