That is the "turn your engine off RIGHT NOW and go look at it" light. Officially it's the alternator light; if the alternator stops putting out voltage it comes on. The usual reason VW alternators stop putting out voltage is the drive belt breaks. On the other end of the alternator shaft from the belt is your cooling fan...and as hot as these engines run, if that belt breaks your motor will melt in about a minute.
