Throttle body removal

[Duvalsm]

Yo guys!!! How hard is it to remove the throttle body on the a3? Is it something I can do myself and if so how can I reach those damn nuts to take it out. Seems impossible to get to them

Assuming 2.0 TDI.

Pull the Boost pipe out of the Throttle body and hold it out of the way, and crack the bolts loose with a flexible 1/4 ratchet. Undo the rest of the thread with your fingers.
