Vacuum hoses over coilpacks?

My LCR has developed what seems to be the common coilpack problem (badly missing - barely runs at idle or part throttle, eggy smell).

I've got a couple of spares, but a quick glance shows there's a stack of vacuum pipes over the coilpack for cylinder 3 and 4. Are those easily moved out of the way to switch the coilpacks, or is it a more complex job?

Of course, I'm guessing at this point that it is a coilpack - any suggestions, or offers of VAGCOM help (near Southampton) most welcome!

Ta; turns out there are 5 allen bolts, plus a nut, and lots of clips tying lots of hoses together (best removed to make access easier) on the LCR.

Having got that lot off, it was indeed a dead coilpack, so I'm running again now. Just need to get some replacements for the others, since it's likely to be "when" they go, not "if" by all accounts...
