The pipes literally slide into each other.....just pull them apart and it will separate.

@mjmallia (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2133) thanks, i received the new part today , im trying to figure out how to get to the bottom part of the pipe seems impossible to get to, do i have to remove the battery and batt holder to get to it? thanks for the reply

If you have a standard type intake, remove that you'll see the servo a bit easier - yeah remove the battery and tray too.
Remember to lock to lock the steering after refitting the battery to reset the traction control/steering angle sensor.

@GVK (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=516) yeah i have an aftermarket ramair intake on it currently, and thanks il try that, as i have to remove that anyway as i have a new pipercross intake to put on so will kill two birds with one stone, and il see if i can remove the battery and tray and give that a go that way. thanks for the replys
