Modern automotive cooling line connectors
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi all,

I am attempting to fix a leaky coolant hose on my 2014 Jaguar and need to remove the supercharger plenum (Engine is mostly Ford parts.) I have no clue how to remove the 3 different connectors seen in these two photos. Two different ones with green dots connect to the throttle body. The pair of matching ones with yellow dots connect to an intercooler.

How do these release without breaking them? Are special tools needed?

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ok after some calming down, googling and common sense, this is the only one that I am still having a problem getting loose.

You have to push in,depress the clip and pull out.

Thanks Salem,
Based on your remark I took a closer look, using a small mirror I eventually saw that in about the 10 o'clock position in my photo, there is indeed a plastic "button" that is either attached to or is part of a spring inside the base of the connector. Problem is that it is the same color grey and was blocked from easy view by other components. Sure enough, push down, press in on the hidden button with a finger tip, and the connector came right off.

Thanks again!
