Does anybody know how to remove the breather tube connector at the valve covers location? I'm trying to replace the oil separator but can't figure out how to remove it. There is no tab to squeeze, no metal thing to pull out like other connector.
Audi A6 C7.

2.0 or 3.0? Should squeeze the sides of it and pull, post a pic.

It is a 3.0. Not sure where to pinch to get it disconnected. My first try is the lower part. You can see the plier mark where I gave it a try. Should I pinch the body right above it?

Squeeze the top part. I found some instructions from ECS Tuning for installing a catchcan on the B8 S4 (http://bd8ba3c866c8cbc330ab-7b26c6f3e01bf511d4da3315c66902d6.r6.cf1.rackcdn.co m/PDF_16632_Audi_B8_3.0T_Catch_Can_System_Install.pd f) (same 3.0 engine) which had some tips:

Those things can be a pain, just be patient, I definitely broke mine doing the same thing.
