SOURCE: emissions workshop

Emissions Workshop means that the fuel / air ratio is incorrect. There are many reasons for this problem. The ONLY way to be certain is to have the OBD codes scanned. This will show the problem straight away. If the car appears to be running ok, you may have a problem with an oxygen sensor....but do the scan first. It is the quicker and cheaper option.
Good luck with it

SOURCE: Emission Workshop Warning

I had the same problem, took it to the garage and they plugged it in to the diagnostic computer. I had just had alot of work done to it and there were about 8 different problem codes that came up on the computer. The mechanic cleared out all the problems, had me drive the car for a day or so until the light came back on. He hooked up my baby to the computer again and found only one problem. The O2 sensor was bad. The part cost about $200 from VW and $100 labor.  Light has been off since. Being that the light could mean many things you definitely need to have it hooked up to a computer. If there are many alerts on the computer i would suggest doing what my mechanic did so that you're not spending money on someone fishing for the ultimate cause. Hope this helps!

You need the OBD codes checked to be certain of the problem. If engine is running ok with the light on, it may well be an oxygen sensor problem.

I would assume some of the emission component failed and you have to take it to a workshop.

As we tell everyone else who comes on here with warning lights: When there's a warning light on, that means a trouble code is stored in the computer. Don't ask us to guess what caused the light to go on when all you have to do is get the trouble codes read.

Emmissions light has come on?

you need to get it scanned, i assume "emissions light" is your check engine light, or the "visit emissions workshop" message, which means, go to a shop and get it checked. The coolant disappearing means you probably have a leak. Another reason to check it,
