SOURCE: dashboard light

The answer will be in the owner's manual for sure. But it probably is low alternator output voltage.

That is the MIL(malfuntion IndicatorLight). You need to hook up a scan tool or code reader to find out what the car is trying to tell you. It would be nice if it had one built in, but you have to buy or borrow one from an auto parts dealer like auto zone. For VW's I would reccomend VAG scan tools, because they have the specific codes for all the systems, not just the engine like with OBD.
This will tell you what the problem is. It could be anything...one of the sensors is picking up something abnormal, and it needs to be fixed. The scan tool can also erase the fault code/ engine light(MIL).
The tool plugs into the cars computer, under the steering wheel there is a slot, sometimes with a cover on it. Plug it in and follow the simple directions.
Good Luck! After you get the code, you can post it here for more help.

SOURCE: Lightning bolt and esp lights

The first thing that you need to do is contact a dealer and see if there are any campaigns out on this car for that issue. You give them the VIN number and they tell you if there are any recalls out. The car has several repair bulletins out for this problem. The esp light means that there is a problem with the electronic skid protection. The lightning bolt means that the computer has sensed a problem and has a code stored in it that can be looked up. If you have no luck with free service at a dealer for a recall then you can take the car to a major auto parts store and see if they can check it for you for free (most do). IT can be something simple or something complex. You might be looking at a sensor like a TPS or ABS.

I Have A 2006 Dodge Magnum And I Do Not Have A Check Engine Light On But I Have A Red Lightning Bolt On The Dash And I Lose Power Driving. What’s The Problem?

The red lightning bolt usually indicates a charging issue.When you say it loses power... do you mean the battery goes dead. If so, check the charge rate with a volt meter at idle. Should be 14.2 volts to 14.6 volts.
Note: Have it scanned if determined a charge issue. It may be a failing computer, and not the alternator.

What does a lightning bolt on dash mean on a 2006 vw beatle?

It means there is a "Diagnostic Trouble Code" Stored in your On Board Diagnostic System.

Your On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System is a computer that monitors the sensors and readings of your vehicle.

So the light means "Something weird is going on.". If you want to know what that is, you'll need to have the vehicle scanned using an OBD scanner. There are tools for sale to the public, and every dealership has these. AutoZone also has a scanner they can use to help you identify what part to buy to fix the problem.

Since a lightning bolt is electrical, I would have to take a guess that you have an electrical problem.
