Removing right side inner fender
I replaced the secondary air injection hose (which had a hole in it) but I am still getting the 178312 17819 codes. I suspect I may have pinched the hose somewhere which may be the reason the new hose has not solved the problem.
Would like to remove the inner fender to get a better view of things. Wondering if there is any good technique to this?
I have a 2003 A6 4.2

I will be doing the same at a pick-your-part yard next week.
(Hoping it is on solid ground since I have to pull the wheel)

I might go that way, except I still need screws and would love to have the factory ones. (Free if I get at the recycler)

ECStuning.com has the fasteners as well as the $%#$ plastic inserts that gozinta the square holes. Most of the time I can't get the old ones out so I just shear them off with a chisel and poke them through and then insert the new ones.
The OEM torx fasteners are purty!

free is good, generally recyclers sell at ½ OEM price but probably give them to you with the fender liner.

The liner is about $6 there.
Yea, I need a few of those plastic screw holders.
Anyone know what part number those stupid little clips are?

Just go to ecstuning.com and search/find a fender liner fastener kit, some of the options should be to just buy the inserts.

ECS is $20 for a 10 each screws and clips.
Just ordered 50 clips for well under $10.
If I don't get enough screws, I'll deal with that later.
Lets see, if I carry a T25 short driver in my pocket, and get one screw from each VW I walk by, I'll have a set in no time.
Bet you can't even tell when only one screw is missing. LOL
