I know it seems a stupid question, but the way the stealers drain the sump is by inserting a drainage tube via the dipstick tube and sucking it out.  Not via a sump plug.  Health and Safety innit..

I think this is the question the OP actually had rather than how to drain the filter housing...

Well yeah more or less, more so whether I can drain it without that tool. I knew there'd be a sump release of some sort but whether I could manually un-clip or release it. Looks like the answers yes  :smiley:

I have to admit I've never seen them do an oil change, but thats the official VW way according to the workshop manual  :happy2:
