VW are known to have terrible electrical gremlins. If you aren't losing any fluid then its probably just the sensor or connector to the overflow. It probably looks like a ball where you fill the radiator fluid. I believe that year VW uses a special type of coolant, so if you are refilling it make sure you get the VW approved stuff.
I would disconnect the sensor first, spray it with some electrical cleaner and reconnect but use a dab of Dielectric grease when reconnecting it. See if that fixes your problem.

Update: Person before me did NOT put the appropriate coolant in (G12). After a flush , it seems to be running without a hitch.
Good fricking call man. Apparently it heated too quickly. Saw traces of stop leak in the previous coolant too so ..hooray. Ill look for that later.
This will get this a-hole to work and back.

You got that right. I've known people with VWs and Audis that had to get rid of their cars because the mechanics could not figure out the electrical problems.
