Do not do this! The wire is spring-loaded and the entire plug slips off easily if you compress the wire properly.

I have a 2010 GT3. I'm trying to locate the plug which needs to be pulled but could not locate it. Is there a difference in the location of the plug between mk1 and mk2?

best,
I *think* it also changes the PASM maps too ... but I am not 100% sure of this!

takes 30secs ... note the earlier posts about the wire spring clip as I recall you press/squeeze it to unlock ... do NOT pull it off or break it ... its not a throwaway piece ...

gimme a minute ... I'll pop into the garage and take a pic ...

Default easy peasy - lemon squeezy!

here you go, hot off the press from the garage...

note in the 2nd picture the connector itself, hold it like you would a "flashlight" press "down" (squeeze) with your thumb on the wire connector (it will "depress") and pull off ... done!
