If its like my tdi one, you simply pull it up at the front first, and then slide it towards you. basically its two rubbers and the front that hold it on, then it slides out a rubber at the back. will post a pic in a min of my engine cover.

Put one hand either side of the dipstick and pull the cover up. Sometimes takes some pulling. Then when they are both released, pull the cover forwards out of the circular rubber at the back. hope this helps. :)

yeah helps a bit, tried pulling it with some force to no avail, does it need quite a reasonable force to get it off? cheers

You can see where the cover fits in at the top of the cover chap. Just up and to the left of the oil cap? slides out of there by pulling it forward when you've popped the rubber ones up off the front.
