What does this mean?
I'm eating chocolate donuts! Woop woop.

Can't believe I'm still here.
Hmm. Not familiar with the symbol beneath it (my own VW is a M reg polo, so probably a several-times-removed ancestor to yours), but it does look like it might represent the starter motor.
What is happening when the light shows, and is the light on continuously or intermittently?
[EDIT]
Have done a little searching, and found this article: http://www.avforums.com/forums/motoring ... light.html
The symbol referred to in that looks like yours, but without the lightning bolt, so it could be the engine management (which mine wouldn't have), or it might be something more electrically related.
Aside from that, dunno really. Haven't got much experience with computerised cars. Still, at least mine can't be commandeered by Terminatrices.

Duude!
There I was, thinking you'd have some 21st Century JohnnyCab of a Passat, or something, and all the time, you're driving one half a decade older than mine!
Not going to be engine management, then.
Have now found this - http://www.ask-knappy.com/knappy/Car%20Stuff/67.pdf - which appears to apply to all VWs from '83-'92.
From those diagrams, it looks like it's the emission control system. So, not my first guess at lighting-bolt-related at all.
Good thing I'm not a mechanic. "Hmm, everything looks ok. Ah, there's your problem, not enough lightning bolts. Try raping and pillaging in the name of Thor for a few days and it'll fix itself, sir."
Then again...
