How do you remove the Mass Air Flow meter/sensor plug? sorry to sound daft!

Dear All,

As the above says went to remove this and could not work out how to remove it without being heavy handed and breaking it!. I tried finger and thumb on either side and tried to wiggle it off. I know its a clip so do I have to lift the clip with a screw driver and push off that way???

I dont wish to seem daft and feel silly posting this but hey ho!, any help would be welcomed!

Thanks

Jason

The little clip in the middle pulls backwards in the same direction as the plug would need to go to pull it off.
It only needs pulling a little,
I sometimes use a large flat head screw driver in the clip and twist it which gives it enough movement to pull the plug off.

I hope that makes sense

Push the whole plug in a little first to break the seal of dirt and grime then I use a small hex key to pull the tap back. Then pull whole plug off.

The old push on to get off...much similar to most VW connectors I have found
