Usually when you remove the top-up-plug there is a blanking plate behind it that doesn't allow draining from the top-up orifice, therefore it is possible this tool would not work. As I have not completely removed the plug on my box yet I cannot say whether the box has the blanking plate, but will let you know once I have.

Correct, the sump has to be removed to drain what is left at the bottom of it and also to clean the swarf from the magnets.

From what I've read you need a special tool (VAS or VAG 1924) to syphon out through that hole then refill back the same way until it just overflows.

See the picture I posted earlier today, the 17mm hex is a drain plug, but as been said earlier doesn't allow all the fluid to drain out
