Getting two arms (especially my giant hands and arms) is going to be tough. I like the idea of wedging it with wood and long sleeve shirt would help eliminate the scratches. I'd like to see a detail picture or video of how to release the connectors.

There are videos out there of how to decouple those plugs Basically I held the plug with one hand and the sensor in the other....and pressed that little tab on the plug with my thumb to release the plug from the sensor, and pulled them apart. The plug was kind of gritty and I had to wiggle and work it a bit before the plug even moved...but eventually it did. At that point I had the new sensor plugged in and put back into the bumper in about 60 seconds. I am not too good with those types of Audi plugs, but IIRC I pushed the tab and held it down, then pushed the plug back onto the sensor a bit, and then pulled the plug out.

Im having issues with my rear senors as well
I wasn't hearing the ticking from 2 of the sensors I pulled them out and moved location and the problem did not move
leads me to believe is the wiring harness
anyone know if the harness is the same in any other models? the A8 ones are rare and expensive
thx

My arms would be more than "cat scratched" if I attempted this. (closer to putting my arms in a tree chipper). I read where taking the bumper cover off was a PITA and it's made me hesitant to attempt it. Recently, I borrowed a vehicle to tow a trailer and was scoping out the idea of a hitch. I cam across this detail on how to take the cover off. It doesn't seem so bad. For those who have taken the cover off, is there more to it than described in this link?
Also, I was thinking of putting a hitch on my wife's old 98 A8 but they don't make one it. They do for my 2006. There are times I could used a light duty hitch and wonder about the "ugliness" of a hitch, (not to mention the pain of whacking my shin on it by accident). The fact that without the hitch dog (thing that has the ball on it), there only appears to be a small hole in the plastic cover.
Would you do this? (An no, I'm not planning to tow an Abrams tank)
