ISv valve

Just cleaned my isv valve but now I've forgotten if the bosch sticker should be on top of bottom?

Thanks for the help!

There is an arrow on it that should point towards the front of the car.

The sticker faces down. I had the same problem when I cleaned mine last week. Had to look at pictures and make sure I had it on the right way. The DIY did not make any difference - but it's good to know that it is clean now. A nice and simple DIY - takling the painted calipers and rotor hats shortly.

I cleaned mine last year and it was very dirty again.

Simple fix and you can really feel the difference.

The bosch sticker should be down

as far as i remember the two hoses/ports have different diameters so the valve will only fit in one direction...
