The first thing to try is a new battery. Mine takes a CR2032 coin cell. Replacement isn't difficult, just pull the two halves of the remote apart; the top half with the key separates from the bottom half with the buttons, then the bottom half opens up and the battery is right there. No tools needed.
When you press a button, you should see the red LED on the remote light up. You can also take it to most auto parts stores, and they'll have a tester that will tell you if your remote is generating a signal or not. If you've replaced the battery and the tester doesn't show a signal, it may be time to replace the remote.
A replacement remote will have to be programmed for your car, but it's not a difficult procedure and you don't have to go to a dealer to get it done. An internet search should give you instructions fairly easily.

When you say water light comes on, do you mean coolant level, or coolant temp or ? Check coolant level and top off if needed. Bring the Beetle to a parts store, most offer free check of check eng. light. They will plug a hand held scan tool into the cars diagnostic port (usually located under the dash) and 'read' stored engine codes in the cars computer. They can tell you what the codes mean, and suggest what to do. If you have further questions, post them here along with the code numbers.

SOURCE: How to pour Radiator stop leak into 1999 VW bug's
I recommend that you do not add this to your radiator unless it is absolutely needed. It will seal the leak, but also seal other passages,especially in the heater core. It will cause more damage in the long run. If the radiator is leaking, replace the radiator.
