Mine came on to tell me that the coolant was low. check that. Remember to use the right kind of coolant and don't mix different kinds.
Look in your owners manual or call a VW dealer.
2004 vw beetles have an aluminum engine therefore require the blue colored coolant.
VW will tell you that you must use their specific yellow coolant. You don't. Just use the top of the line Prestone that is for all engine types. Don't add water!! It runs on pure coolant...

Proprietary Coolant available only from VW repair shops. Never, never use any other type of coolant as it will turn the radiator fluid into jelly and not work. In an emergency, you can add Distilled Water to get to the repair shop. Never, never, never use tap water under any circumstances.

Coolant is pink. You should have your water pump checked.
For a 2000 VW Beetle, the cooling system typically requires about 6.5 to 7 quarts (approximately 6 to 7 liters) of coolant, which is a mixture of antifreeze and water. It's essential to use the correct type of antifreeze, usually a G12 or G12+, specifically formulated for VW vehicles. Always check the owner's manual for precise specifications and ensure the coolant is mixed correctly before filling.
A 1993 VW Cabriolet typically uses a coolant mixture of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze and water, often in a 50/50 ratio. It's important to use a coolant that meets the specifications set by Volkswagen, such as G12 or G11, to ensure proper engine protection and performance. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations and maintenance guidelines.
Coolant for a 2006 VW Bettle is put into the coolant overflow tank. As it is needed, the radiator will automatically pull in additional coolant.
A 2000 VW Cabrio takes power steering fluid as advised directly by VW. It was difficult to put in, I had to use a straw and small funnel, adding a little bit at a time.
