Access is limited, but you can do it with just a torx driver, losen off the jubliee clip and remove the flexi-pipe section... all from memory been a while.

I remember swearing at it a few times as I scrapped my knuckles. :signLOL:

Also, Q was the latest revision when I did mine, and it's been on for ~2 years now, I bought it second hand on fleabay, loads available as iirc they were 2010/11 cars with that revision Q; Audi / Skodas / Seats etc. usual part sharing stuff.
