My garage guys (who are very experienced) just cant remove the water hoses in order to replace the thermostat housing assembly. Theyre jammed on.
Any tips/tricks please to get them off ?

Same on my 2016 1.6 hdi
Going up to 0 from auto gives a message 'auto wipe off' but it doesn't turn off !
I have to come up 2 notches from auto then back down to 0 to turn off auto wipe.
C'est la vie !
