Engine is overheating...not the correct answer. My 2002 does the same thing. I have had it to the dealer 9 times in a year. It is not over heating. They have replaced the sensor,heat pump,thermostat..still comes on. The dealer has not solved the problem in a year of visits.
I had the same problem with an '03. I took to the dealer many times, they changed everything, only when they changed the water pump did it seem to correct it. One time after warranty expired, even the check engine light came on, and a diagnostic code was issued that the dealer could not understand. After some research online I decided to change the water pump, timingbelt, thermostat, and temp control switch. I have done all at once, and not had a problem on that side since. (knock on wood)

Bought my used 2003 Beetle with this light glowing & after 2 trips to the DEALER it was determined to be the seat belt latch on the drivers side.
the red warning light will come on. this is the same light that comes on in blue when engine is started.
A flashing check engine light is an indication of a severe engine misfire.
