Read operators guide, it says, transmission errors.
slipping, is bad, if slipping the trans clutches or bands will burn up.
it dont flash for funs and giggles. RTM

Testimonial: "Thank you! The car did not come with an operator's guide. The speedometer has now stopped working and I was told by a mechanic that may be why the light was flashing but now I have had two responses on this website that it's a transmission problem. Have parked the car until I can get in to shop."

SOURCE: flashing green s on the dash

A green flashing "S" is similar to a check engine light. It is telling you that something in or on your transmission is not functioning correctly, such as the speed sensor or shift control solenoids. If it starts flashing and the speedometer stops working or the transmission shifts weird, take it to a mechanic.

99 Disco 2 Dash lights M and S Flashing

It thinks you're kinky ;)

Seriously though, it suggests a problem with the Automatic Gear box ECU, or X/Y selector switch. Can also be water in the connector as it joins the gearbox, or someone's knocked the ECU which is under the passenger seat (RHD).
Sometimes this can be cleared by stopping, turning off the ignition, and starting again and it's fine. It's alerting you that it is in 'Limp Home' mode (3)

2001 Passat -

I have the same make and model. Overall a really nice car. I was driving down the freeway yesterday when the car jolted and I lost the gear lighting on my dash. The car drove in 'limp' mode the remainder of the way home. I started it up this morning and it ran fine for about 15 minutes then it went back to 'limp' mode and the dashboard gear indicatior lights went out again. Research indicates this is the Transmission control module which is located under the passanger side floorboard. In my case there is moisture in this area
