hi new to the forum

I have a cupra 290 that I have got and I've done the turbo muffler delete but now have the new elbow to fit but cant find anyway of getting the breather pipe sensor off the turbo elbow (3 holes one to the airbox one to the turbo and the troublesome one to the breather/sensor pipe) GOLF R and S3 have a squeeze clip and yet seat don't have anything

any body have any ideas how to remove as i have tried twisting it or prying with a screw driver but no joy and it cant be a secret surly (its a 2020 model mk3)

thanks in advance

I wrecked mine taking it off, used a screwdriver the pry it in the end and left it unable to get an airtight seal as I damaged it.
Had to replace the whole hose that was a faff.

You need a decent pick tool really to pry it off without damaging it.

It does come off with brute force… but needs ALOT

It was about £47 iirc, yeah got it from Seat.
It’s the PCV rebreather hose iirc
For instructions I found some from ECS for installing their oil catch-can.
