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
