I wouldn't use the factory jack for working on the car. I've used it when I got a flat and even though mine is the heftier D3 one, it's still completely unsuitable for actual work on the car. You can get a decent trolley jack from Halfrauds or ECP for under 30 quid usually.
Us D3 owners can just pop the car into lift, then jacking mode to get the jack under
