What does this factory V sticker represent on this 914-6 air cleaner housing?Click to view attachment

Orientation mark for installation?

Uneducated guesses

1) velocity
2) direction
3) some German city initial

All of which don't make sense. Took a crack at it anyway.


Q

Verbotten?

Its the universal sign for "Live long and prosper", a Vulcan salute!

Vorderseite

My first thought was that it would be an oem name, but I think the air filter boxes are made by Mann.

It reminds me, the color, of the cutaway type 4 motor that's in the VW museum, they use light blue to represent cooling... though that's not really cooling but intake. Then the "V" would be like 1 into 2 symbol, that it splits.



All just guessing.

Arrow pointing forward.....

I think mine is long gone, but possibly a reference to the unique snorkel used on the -6?

Or as an arrow pointing to the front of the car since every other six faced the other direction...
