Audi A6's jack is usually placed under the cover at the bottom of the trunk. How to find the jack in an Audi A6: Open the driver's side door of the Audi A6. Pull up the handbrake of the Audi A6 to prevent the car from rolling. Pull the trunk switch located on the left side of the driver's leg area in the Audi A6. Press the trunk latch of the Audi A6. Lift the trunk of the Audi A6 upwards to open it. Lift the cover at the bottom of the Audi A6's trunk. Then you can find the jack of the Audi A6. Overview of the car jack:
When I first drove the Audi A6, I also got lost trying to find the jack. After searching for a while, I finally found it tucked beside the spare tire. Lift the trunk floor mat, and you'll see the jack secured tightly in the plastic slot on the left side of the spare tire. You have to unscrew that blue knob to pull it out. I also stumbled upon a small tool bag with a socket wrench inside. If your car comes with tire repair fluid instead of a spare tire, it's probably hidden in the side compartment of the trunk. Remember to put everything back in place after use—last time I got lazy and didn’t secure it properly, and it rattled all the way on the highway. The design of this spot is quite thoughtful, much more reliable than those jacks stashed under the seats.
Last month, while helping my neighbor change a tire, I discovered Audi's clever design for storing the jack. Lift the trunk floor panel, and you'll find the shiny silver jack nestled beside the spare tire, secured in a foam mold to prevent rattling. Before getting started, always check the tire pressure sticker on the door B-pillar to ensure you're lifting to the correct height. Once, I saw someone position the jack on the plastic underguard, which ended up cracking the side skirt. It's wise to keep a pair of gloves in the car—the wrench and socket are conveniently stored in the black tool bag right next to the jack. If the spare tire well is empty, simply check the rear right storage compartment; lifting the felt cover will reveal what you're looking for.
Remember the last time I had a flat tire in heavy rain, fumbling around in the wet. Open the trunk and lift the carpet, the folding jack is wedged in the left foam groove of the spare tire—you'll need to pry open the plastic fastener. If you can't find it, use your phone's flashlight to check the right inner wall; it might be hidden in the mesh pocket compartment. It's best to practice assembling it beforehand. Once, I didn't secure the base properly while rotating it and nearly dropped it on my foot. After use, remember to wipe it dry before putting it back in the foam slot to prevent rust on the metal parts. It's advisable to check the jack's condition every quarter to avoid it seizing up when you need it most.
