Another reason VW's run hot is because somebody put "Bars Leaks" or other
nasty radiator leak repair stuff in 'em.

If it is just above the light, that should be plenty fine.  You
still have a
lot of margin left before you truly overheat.  You might also want to
confirm what the temp is when this happens.  Although it does not happen
often, it is possible that that sensor is too sensitive, and is
giving you a
false reading of it being higher than it truly is.  How to check?  Not many
ways other than using an infrared pyrometer (infrared digital thermometer).
These are getting downright cheap at about 75-90 dollars.  If that
is not an
option, you may want to try to locate a radiator shop and see if you can
confirm highh temperatures.  Thinking of that, if you radiator is original,
it is entirely possible that you have a partial block in the radiator,
thereby lowering efficiency...  This could again be confirmed by the
pyrometer.  Have you done a flush lately?  How old is your thermostat?

Apologies for the jumbled thoughts.  It is the way I think...  ;-)
