I know this is easy and takes 10mins, but unless youve done these things once they can be a bit daunting
*I take no responsibility*TOOLSTorx 20 Screwdriver
Torx 30 Screwdriver
HOW TOStart by removing the air intake fixing bolts (torx 20)... one each side.
Push it toward the back of the engine bay and swing it to the right.
Remove the bolt (Torx 30) marked by the red arrow, this bolt attaches the DV to the engine block.
Removal of the bolt allows you to move the DV toward the front of the engine bay so you can access the other 3 torx 30 bolts.
Now is a good time to remove the electrical connector from the DV, just push the tab down and pull it off.
Starting with the bolt on the right (as shown below) remove the three bolts one by one in a clockwise direction.
(NB... ignore inconsistance in the photos... your clip will be unclipped
)
Once you have removed all Torx 30 bolts the DV will simply lift straight out.
Inspect the orange diaphragm for tears and either refit, or purchase the
revision D DV which is part number 06H 145 710 D revision G is now considered the best OEM version
====================================
To replace simply reverse the above. Make sure that the DV is seated correctly when you replace the bolts, and take care not to thread the bolt which attaches the DV to the engine mounting bracket
