Carjack Noob Questions?

Can someone please provide with some clarity on how to properly use car jack and jack stands?

I have an Audi S3 that i am doing my own work on and need to jack the car up to flush the brake fluids. However, it seems like the rubber puck i bought for the carjack has grooves too narrow to fit the car's pinch weld. So my question is should i widen the gap? but if YES then what is the difference between using a groove and why not just lift it straight off the carjack rubber pad? Once the grooves are widened the full weight of the car will be lifted up from the base of the pinch weld.

Same question goes for the jack stand, there are thin rubber pads and once i sit the pinch welds on to the jack stands, the entire weight sits on the pinch weld.

Any waterpump issues on 8Y Rs3?

Plan to pull the trigger on a 2022 Rs3 this week. Wondering if waterpump failure is common on this generation. From my search it seems very common on the 8V.

8Y vs 8Y5

Does anyone have experience with both cars? For daily driving on the highway and twisty roads, do you actually notice any difference in performance?

Audi Marketing Attempt Fail

Does Audi's marketing team even understand their brand anymore? This instagram post was put up today and as an Audi RS fanboy and owner of multiple Audi vehicles in my past, I 100% hate it!

Instagram

This is all Ai bullshit with this wannabe Diplo lookalike, the commercial features an outdated style borrowed from Need For Speed Unbound, the RS3 being shown is both an outdated version as well as a 26 version. Who in the marketing department looked at the final cut and said "Yes, this will captivate the market"??
