Removing it w/o removing any skin is the trick! Actually, removal is simple too. Important tips:

1) uplug the connector that is on another component directly underneath the ISV or you'll never get it off. You may need a flashlight to see it depending on lighting conditions, or you could use the Helen Keller method.
2) don't drop the 3 nuts that hold the ISV on. As far as cleaning goes, all you've gotta do is spray inside the two chambers, let it soak awhile (some say 1-2 hours), repeat as often as your heart desires, &amp; reinstall. Don't forget to plug in the connector underneath the ISV either.

Check out the attached tech article link that Kris Hansen has. Excellent write-up!!! Beware of the 4-handed screwdriver!!!<ul><li><a href="http://www.kris-hansen.com/Audi/icv.htm">ICV/ISV cleaning</a></li></ul>
