Pipes are off inside the car and in the engine bay. Is it a matter of brute force? Tried pushing it from the engine bay and no luck.

Also cannot get the pipe off the heater box inside the car. May have to cut the pipe to fit onto the golf one .
If memory serves Chris there are a couple of screws holding the valve onto the heater box - a torch and a small mirror might help you locate them or whatever else is holding it in. It won't be brute force as they are designed to be removed and replaced and brute force could easily break something else.

Whatever you do, don't do anything permanent (like cutting hoses) untlo you are sure you've got everything right to start with.
