That's the ABS warning light. It most likely means an ABS sensor has failed.

If you can let us know the year (and if MK1 or MK2), some further information can be offered to help track down the duff sensor.

This article on checking the sensors will be useful.

ABS Sensor Checks.

Note that the resistance of an ABS sensor is very critical. If it is not within a very few ohms of 1080 ohms than it is duff.

Also check the "Dragons Teeth" on the CV joints. These are the ABS Rings used by the sensor to generate the necessary wheel-speed signal. Make sure they are tight and clean. Sometimes they break and fall off. If they are caked with dirt and rust, tghus can affect them too.
