X scratched into mk6 fester frame (at factory?)

Jan 17, 2009 1 Replies

i was cleaning the engine bay of my mk6 fester & found a 1" X roughly scratched with a screwdriver or knife near the base of the wiper water resevoir on the top side of the box frame.it was done after body painting as 1 edge of X has a hint of rust. i am assuming it was done in the factory to identify it before the chassis number or vin was attached.



anyone familiar with factory processes have any idea why they would mark a car in such a caveman way?i have had the car for some years now & there is nothing wrong with it.



thx


to give you a better idea where my X is,i found a similar photo with no engine:

if the guy with the sideburns looked down at the top of that box section,he would be looking at the X
