1. Park your vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood of your car.
3. Locate the engine which is usually covered with a plastic cover. Remove the cover if necessary.
4. The oil pan is typically located at the bottom of the engine. It's usually a metal pan that holds the engine oil.
5. It may have a drain plug at the bottom to allow you to drain the oil.
6. The exact location of the oil pan may vary slightly depending on the specific engine variant in your 2002 VW Golf, so it's always a good idea to consult your vehicle's owner's manual or refer to a reliable repair guide for more specific instructions.
Remember to take safety precautions when working near the engine, such as wearing protective gloves and eyewear.
