I really need some help with some stupid stuff guys. Any info would be great.

1. How do these clips work that attach the MAF to the Airbox. The end on the AirBox has a circular shape, while the end that attaches to the MAF has a much flatter shape. Do I push up on the circular (airbox) end and the other side disengages?:

2. How do you disconnect the Mass Air Sensor from the harness? There is a push tab on the back of the plug. Do I just push on that while pulling or do I have to push/pull/etc on something else at the same time?

Picture of the tab:

This is a dumb question and something that I have done on other cars, but my audi just makes me nervous (2000 A6 2.7T). I am going to be changing the airfilter tomorrow, while I'm in there I want to take to top of the box off to insure a good seal. I understand the "metal clip" plugs, not not the one MAF plug.

Thanks!

When you disconnect your car battery from the car, it helps prevent the electrical systems including the clock and on-board computer system from draining it completely. Therefore, if you leave the car battery unattended for longer period, then it might damage the battery and even need replacement. But with I want know that can be use in these types of car Solar PV Battery Systems which so it will be fruitful or not?

Here is how you remove, clean and reinstall the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor on the C5. I just published this: youtube.com/watch?v=mm1R_XDufKs

Why did you not publish it on AW How-Tos?

How do I do that? I can't find an option to add a how-to.
