A tap! so funny Gilles, yes most normal car have one but not VW.

So to your question, no easy way. one of the hose that goes to the rad will need to be remove, slowly. Don't remove this one at the rad junction but at the pipe, it's a bit more easy and you won't get drown into coolant.

Just use a big bucket.

Good luck Ben
