Help!
Struggling to remove the plug from the Canbus of my 2023 Polo GTI.
I removed the Canbus from the bracket to provide slightly better access - but try as I might, I cannot remove the plug!
This video https://youtu.be/e7wg5-v4_YI?si=u4ZelYVw52VqDDLp&t=155 for a Golf Mk 7 makes the job look ridiculously easy - just press down the tab on the side and pull the plug out!
On mine, the plug is in solid - regardless of how hard I press in the tab and pull on the plug.
Thanks

Re: Canbus plug removal
You need to push the connector into the gateway controller slightly THEN push the tab in and remove the plug .

Re: Canbus plug removal
Many thanks for the advise.
I tried but still no luck. Admittedly even with the gateway controller unclipped from the bracket, access is tight.
I will take it to an electrician and hopefully they will show me the trick,
