Hi am wanting to fit a racechip GTS to my 1.5TSi 150 2019 Leon FR. However all the clips are difficult to undo. Does anyone have experience and hints on how to get the clips off from the 3 parts?
Know some people think racechip's aren't great but had it on my insignia and now been reworked and new cables to fit into my leon.

Looks like the boost sensor has one of the grey clips that you just push up which will unlock the connector and let you remove it. The map sensor might be the same, or could be like the throttle one which looks like it’s probably one which you need to press in the retaining part of the clip with a screwdriver and pull it out at the same time.

If you look at any of the installation videos on YouTube on VAG platforms, probably a lot on EA888, they should go over removing different types of connectors which should also apply to yours.

On the 1.5 TSI they are an absolute nightmare.

Skinned knuckles is the only way to go

How do I find the thread you tagged me in? Not a fan off this app or layout of forums but hopefully will get better if I actually used them more often

My advice is not to start with that mess and eventually destroy your engine:
