How to remove intercooler from n/s corner

Okay - it's a 2006 Audi, a big car with a longitudinal engine. It may not be an A6 but i'm sure it is, a big car it is.



The intercooler
has burst at the bottom, where the plastic meets the radiator area and
needs replacing. Problem is there's no room to take it out from
underneath and very little room from above. Light cluster gets in the
way.



The intercooler is vertical on the n/s corner of the engine.



So what is the actual procedure for removing it?



I'd love to hear your thoughts... but i'm thinking, bumper off, light cluster off, then pull it out of there???



Removing the bumper:

I believe there is only two bolts on the bumper? One behind each wheel
arch, then it clips in the rest of it. Or can I just remove the one bolt
on N/S and unclip half way only?



Removing light cluster:

I say about the bumper because there is a bolt to the right/front of the
cluster (accessed by pulling the top plastic up), a bolt accessed from
underneath, above and to the left slightly from the receiver/dryer, then
there is a third BEHIND the bumper at the front middle ??



Or am I completely wrong here?



Please correct me guys?
