Is this the right ATF coupling to undo?

I'm about to fully change the ATF in my '04 diesel by following this excellent post but all the pics are I presume of a petrol model. Can someone please confirm that this is the right coupling to undo and replace with a drain tube into a container?

Yes, that is the correct connector it is labelled W . Ease the inner plastic collar up gently with a blunt implement until it releases the collar - the pipe will not pop off by itself, you have to give it a gentle pull once you have moved the collar up.

A couple of pics of the connector. The second pic shows the inner collar fully engaged with the outer collar, with the connecter ready to be pulled off.

Thanks for that, it's very helpful.

I was under my car yesterday looking at that connector. My car is due an oil change, too.
