Hi all, I'm trying to help a lad remotely who is trying to pin-down a misfire on his Polo by swapping the coilpacks around (as suggested here) but he (still) can't seem to get the connector undone? He is conscious of not breaking anything (he's more at home with the insides of tablets, phones and re-flowing SM devices) so may not be pushing some clip hard enough? Could someone just confirm just what should be moved where or levered how to release these connectors please? Cheers, T i m p.s. It looks to me that you might push that clip to the left into it's recess and then pull (wiggle) the plug out of it's connector at the same time?

How will swapping coil packs help? He will still have one firing/not firing when it shouldn't.

Polo coilpack lt connector release?

Sticky valve or injector maybe, use only branded fuel for a couple of tank fulls and see what occurs, it can make a difference.

^^^That. They're usually quite stiff. Not done one on a coil pack but those connectors are all over modernish VAG cars.
