  Hmmm, I think that's the hardest one to get to on an A1.  If you have one, 
and can get it in there, try an air chisel.  Then drive a screwdriver or 
angled, 
pry bar into the slot you make and pry out the plug.  A heater might be the 
easiest thing to put back in.
  If it's too difficult to get to you might just consider disconnecting the 
axles, hoses and wires (and speedo cable) and dropping the engine and 
tranny down to where you can get at it.  Sounds like a lot until you spend 
4 hours fighting a plug where you can do the whole thing in and out faster 
and with less hassle and skinned knuckles!
