Default Help with Sensor Removal Please!

Every video I've watched today not ONE shows exactly what is being pushed and what is being pulled and if it's done, it's done in a darkly shot video. I've got a 2023 992T and could use detailed descriptions and pics if someone is able to do it. Alternatively, if someone knows where to order a shop manual, I'd love to know where to get one, searched all over and all I could find were 991 shop manuals.

Thanks in advance fellas.

Ok but could you be a bit vaguer and perhaps tell us WHAT sensor you're trying to remove???????????????????????

That's helpful

Here you go. Pull back on the tab to release the clip and slide out.

Would suggest pushing the male and female connectors together and maintaining the pressure, then while maintaining the pressure, pull back on the little tab to release, then pull the connectors apart.

I've always found that if I don't push them together, it's more difficult to get the tab to release.

YMMV

This is correct. Push, then pull.
I've been working on VWs with these connectors for over fifteen years. There is a special tool, but I've found it doesn't help much.
And when you push the connector back together make sure you hear the click.

There are some pics in the DIY section that may help
