Right guys, I tried to pop the pins out of the MAF connector last night and failed miserably. I had to hand a thicker and a normal paperclip but neither did a darn thing apart from make me want to cut the connector off with pliers. Looking at the attached picture I've borrowed and annotated from this thread, where exactly do I stick the paperclip? Do I use the thicker one/small screwdriver in position 2 or, a U shaped thinner paperclip down either side ala position 1? Do I even insert whatever down this side of the connector or down the back side of it to release the pins?
many thanks chaps,
mike

First off pull back the hinged tab. Under the tab you will see a barb on the terminal. There is one on the other side too, and these are what retain the terminal in the housing. You need to use a thick paperclip or similar sized prong through the recess above the terminal (your position 2 in the pic) to press the barb down so you can remove the terminal. It helps a lot if you push the terminal into the housing as you press the barb, then withdraw. You need 2.5 hands. It's easy once you've got the knackPanthero Coupé quattro 20vt
