To replace the coolant in the Volkswagen Golf 6, access the underside of the vehicle: there will be screws securing the undertray at the bottom. Once these screws are loosened, you can remove the undertray and unscrew the coolant drain plug, which should be collected in a container.

When the coolant has completely drained, open the bonnet to top up from the designated reservoir on the left side.
