I've learned not to muscle german parts for things break easily when pushed/pulled in areas where not designed.
Can anyone please send help... pictures...annotations!
Thanks much... look forward to good times on the site.
remove the 2 black air tubes at the front of the cover... they side back to remove. then pull up on the cover from the rear to release it. you may need to pull hard... rubber grommets hold it in place.
when reinstalling it... be sure to align the mass air flow sensor up first... at the back of the cover. this makes it easier to reattach it imo.
its easy to do... after you do once.
