Broken radiator tap. 850 1994

I replaced the coolant and snapped the plastic tap off at the bottom of the radiator when tightening it. It has broken off flush, Anyone have a tip on how to unscrew what is in there without wrecking the thread ? (not leaking, just needs to be done).Thanks in advance.

ps Just got back from my first long drive in the T5 - 600ks in a day, 120 - 130 kph average, drove superbly, best car I have ever had, including several V8s. This T5 is a treat to drive, I could turn around and do it all again !

    A large "E-Z out" usually grabs it and spins it right out, or you might try gently wedging a screwdriver blade in the hole and give a twist.

    I cant tell you how to remove it but I have an extra tap handy if you need it. Try drilling a hole & doing a reverse tap to unscrew it, I would take rad out to do this.
