What Does the Light in My Gauge Mean? Options

[silver six]

In the far left temp/fuel guage in my six there are three idiot lights (and a blank yellow non-operational light). One light is for oil pressure, one light is for generator/alternator function and the third light I can't figure out. It has a horizontal line crossed by a slash. The owners manual is of no help. What is this thing?

I know the Beetle system pretty well so I did some research on the Sporto
It is the same system except its a 4 speed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)


All of the system components are shown in PET including the control valve, ATF and vacuum reservoirs
and shift linkage for /4 and /6 versions.

What's not shown is the ATF pump for a /4 setup. The Beetle used a dual pump, somewhat like a 911 oil pump. On the Sporto /6 the pump was driven off the end of a camshaft. The /4 would have had to use the Beetle type pump but clearance with the fan housing may have been a problem. Seems I had read somewhere that a /4 Sporto was never produced.

almost on topic content: the autostick beetle had a warning light too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
