Easiest is to cut off the VW connectors and buy new ones from Audi. Or, you can do like I did and use a flatened piece of solid wire and slide it between the ear on the pin and the connector to release it. But it's a PITA.

i just did a search and found the post from a few days back. i've got the part number, going to order it from the dealer on wed.

thanks

when I did mine, or that's the route I would have taken. It wasn't easy releasing the pin tabs. Another alternative..I undertand that the dealers have a kit that includes the tool to release the pins. Maybe you could bring them to the dealer and they would swap then for a minimal fee, but I bet the new connectors would be the cheaper way to go. I tried buying just the tool but they said it wasn't sold sans kit.
