Hi,
You will need "VAG diagnostic software" - (google it) on a laptop and a £15 VAGCOM interface cable if you want to do it yourself.
Cheers, D.

SOURCE: the coolent light went off. the coolent level is

Maybe, but the same fuse is used by other systems, and I would suspect other issues to arise, but check it out, I am wrong sometimes, hehe.
The sensor is on the bottom of the over flow. It seals in the coolant with a rubber o-ring. If this goes bad, it will leak coolant out the bottom and ruin the sensor.
The sensor pulls off with a sqeeze. Clean it with a can of electrical cleaner, and inspect for corrossion.
If either doesn't fix it, look for gremlins.
Good Luck!

What is the warning light on 2005 vw gti

Hello! A thermometer light with two wavy lines underneath the thermometer indicates a problem with the VW's cooling system...When the engine is cold; Check the coolant level in the radiator...If it is full and since the light goes out when the engine reaches normal operating temperature the Low Coolant Level sensor is defective...But I suspect the level is low..

The radiator warning light blinks red on startup, what kind of radiator fluid does the vehicle take? 2005 VW new beetle

VW have their own spec anti freeze/coolant, but any good quality upper market anti freeze can be used and some will even say that they are recommended by VW. Follow the directions on the container for mix and dilution.
