Otherwise you have to remove some sort of skid plate or something over the drain plug. Best I ever had was chevy trucks with the small block 350,400 ect so easy! j
The belly pan is very easy to take off/put back on. The hard part about the VW is finding ramps that it will climb with out tearing the bumper off.

I still do a drain every 4 changes or so though, just to make sure I get the crud that the extractor might have missed. I don' think it misses much though, mine measures what comes out and it's always what I'm expecting.
Everyone needs an extractor, they're really handy!
Oh yeah, my '79 Chevy 1/2 ton (350) is pretty easy. The filter is sitting the correct way, vertical!
