My dad's golf don't run hot but the coolent light still comes on. I'm not a vw guy but I thought you guys could help. is there another common prob. that could cause this?

What kind of coolant is he using? My cooling system in my 94 is real iffy. I was told only to use the oem pink (g12) stuff, i don't really remember why but i kinda wish i did because i have a leak someplace in my system.
As for your dad's problem, does it throw a cel at all? The a sensor may be failing or just dirty.

Just trying to help a bit, i would check vwvortex.com, and use the search and see if you can come up with anything.
