Audi A6 3.2 - Upper Intake Removal in detail

I have removed my upper intake manifold a dozen times already. I think I have mastered how to properly remove it so I wanted to share the way I proceed with you. I hope you find it useful.

Correction: The part number for the Intake Manifold Runner Control Valve (IRMC Valve) is 037 906 283 C and not 03C 906 051 F which is the part number for the Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP Sensor).
