Hello. My VW Beetle was low on fuel so petrol light was on. However, i filled it up but the petrol light is still on. Is this bad? I just bought the car and it has no warrenty so i dont know if it has happened before. Just wondering has anyone had the same problem and knows if its serious or just something simple. Thanks.

Sounds like a sticking valve or sensor.
Googling: Volkswagen Beetle +"petrol light" found only the above post.
Try the specialist VW forums but it doesn't look like a generic problem with so few hits.
Failing that see if you can find a garage open on Monday and ask them.
MSL in Pottery Road (01 236 9222) are a VW Main Dealer as are Foster Motor Company (012942222).
I have bought cars from both MSL and Fosters and had cars serviced by both.
ONQ.

!! It was really really empty when i picked it up. Do you think that had anything to do with it?I am not sure just guessing there may be a seperate switch (pick up) that works the light.
As long as the gauge is woring I would just leave it until the next service is due. Then mention it to the mechanic.
I may just clear after running the tank down to near empty then fill again.
Not a major problem IMO
