Check engine light comes on. digital says car is overheating. temperature gauge reads normal.
This car has 2 separate temp sensors, 1 for the computer and 1for the gauge, you need to be sure the engine is not overheating first, but most likely it's a bad coolant temp sensor causing a false reading..

If the coolant level is low in the expansion bottle then the light will come on and you need to locate the leak. If the bottle is full then the level sensor in the bottle is bad!

remove door panel and check actuator for power and that actuator rod is connected and the plastic clip did not break or pop off

There's a level sensor plugged into the bottom of the coolant reservoir. Unplug it and clean the contacts with electrical contact cleaner. If that doesn't do the trick, replace the sensor.

You have a bad coil pack, they usually crack from age and heat. It's best to replace them all. Check for a VW recall on this item.
