Yes, that appears to be a typical spring clip hose connector (it is only a drawing and not a real pic, but pretty sure).
Place a small screw driver behind the wire,
Pry the wire out a small amount until it locks open:
Now you can pull off the connector. To reconnect, make sure the o-ring is in good shape, clean, and coat with an o-ring lube. Reconnect, then push the wire lock back in place.

Should be something like this to lube o-rings. The one on the right side is the lube I use for the o-rings on my pool equipment.
Thanks again I just ordered some now
I did wrong last time using vaseline for the throttle body o ring watching redpant video, definitely....I just red petroleum affect rubber.
Do I need this o ring lube there too, on the throttle o ring?
i m thinking redoing my oil change after 200 kms. As I left the old filter and started the car once with new oil in.

Yes, it is important (to me) to use the correct lubricant on any rubber compound seal and not just any grease or oil. When an o-ring lube is used it causes a slight swelling to occur which helps the o-ring to seal better than dry. It is also IMPORTANT to NOT overdo it. You do not want gobs of lube like this especially in a coolant system where antifreeze might not be compatible. Just a very modest coating.
You can also go into any hardware store in the plumbing section and find 0-ring lube. Note in both of the products I pictured above has the active ingredient PTFE which is key to the correct lube.

Yes, you are welcome...and why I do not waste time watching any youtubes. Like other social media, one can become addicted and information not always accurate or good.
