You should also be able to disconnect the hose at the bottom of the tank and drain it. Not sure if you have to remove the bumper to do it. You can search http://forums.vwvortex.com

it is really simple. First DON'T pump it out using the windshiel wiper pump. The rubber lines for the wiper fluid may deteriorate. Also it may put too much strain on your wiper fluid pump since the coolant wil be thicker than the wiper fluid.
Go to your local parts store and ask for a hand operated syphon pump. It will let you SAFELY remove the coolant from the tank. I would not recomend putting that coolant in your coolant resivior though since it will be contaminated with wiper fluid.
And just to let you know for further help remember that your coolant tank looks like an odd ball shape in your engine bay.
Just suck it out with a turkey baster or something similiar.What is the best way to remove coolant accidentally poured into windshield washer reservoir of a 2000 VW Golf?
Coolant is not going to hurt anything. If there is not a drain plug, then just keep the wiper fluid button depressed until it is empty, and then re-fill it.
