Jetta dashboard light--looks like water temp.

I have a 96 vw jetta and a warning light on the dashboard keeps flashing. The light looks like a water temp light, but I can't locate my manual to be sure. I've restarted it and it won't reset. What does it mean, first of all, and then what should I do? Thanks

Check your tire pressure if this is the light.

On a jetta 2006 all the lights on the dash are flashing PNDR ( park,drive and reverse lights) what does that mean. Does it mean the km on the car have been rolled back ?

No, this is a warning signal that notifies you that the gearbox is defective, has been put in Limp Mode (an emergency mode designed to keep the gearbox running at all costs as to allow you to reach home) and it will have to be serviced immediately. It will be very expensive.

2000 jetta 2.0 gas - 15-20 sec after starting car the water temp alarm goes off; 60 sec later turns off. car runs fine and temp gage reads normal. Any ideas?

Have you checked the coolant level in the overflow tank? Make sure it's to the proper level. The coolant warning system can lose its little brain on the VW's. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I have a citroen dispatch and a warning light on the dash keeps coming on, it looks like a shower head, what is this?

Hi, i'm pretty sure that it's the warning light to tell you to drain the water trap on the bottom of the diesel filter.
Hope that helps Matt...
