ABS fitted to all Mk3 8v GTI's? *Urgent*

[thai-wronghorse]

tell him bolloxs basically.

[shepgti]

cool cool 

although its still wrong as mine got longbeach alloys and is a 93

they wernt original then were they   

[1996BlueGti]

My GTI does not have ABS....
Its a 1996 model. Why would this be?
does anyone know all the parts needed to install ABS? I.E. Sensors, ABS pump, electronics etc

[FlySpeck]

minimum would be pump, abs ecu and harness mate, plus 4 x wheel speed sensors and 4 x hubs with the detector rings.

To the OP - if you can get a hold of the codes from the inside front cover on the service book it has the options the car came with, such as abs, leather etc. Need to run it thru the options vin decoder and it will produce a list, cant remember the site but you just google vag vin decoder

you need all the codes - not just the vin btw for the full options list.

Heres mine:

X2B = National sales program Great Britain
B0N = Component parts set, complying with vehicle type for Great Britain, various parts
C2D = Alloy wheels 6J x 14 offset 43 (6L0 601 025)
G0C = 5-speed manual transmission
H1V = Tires 225/45 R17
J1L = Battery 280 A (60 Ah)
M7S = 6-cyl. gasoline engine 2.8 L/128 kW VR6 Motronic, catalytic converter base engine is T6N
Q1X = Sports front seats with integrated storage trays
1AE = Electronic differential lock (EDL/ABS)
1G6 = Space-saving spare wheel
1MV = Leather steering wheel
1NL = Covers for alloy wheels
3AV = Right exterior mirror: aspherical, electrically adjustable and heated
3BF = Left exterior mirror: convex, electrically adjustable and heated
T6N = 6-cylinder gasoline engine 2.8 L unit 021.A
0BE = Rear stabilizer
3S0 = Without roof rails/roof load rack
3V1 = Child bench seat
5J1 = Rear spoiler
0G4 = Cable gearshift
8GM = Alternator 70 A
8L3 = Roof antenna
1H1 = Load-sensitive proportioning valve
1KD = Disc brakes, rear
1LD = Disc brakes, front
3FE = Electric slide/tilt sunroof with sun screen/sunblind
3YH = Door pockets, front
1BA = Standard suspension/shock absorption

eh? what wernt original?  the long beach, erm yeah its what came with the car, its a aug 93, so possibly crossover. you know what VW are like

[boneybradley]

on all private sales it's "caveat emptor" (as trading standards and the courts will agree..tell him to fook off)

oh and spec wise....vw do cock things up and I'm guessing kells motor is an odd one
(like my feb 97 passat that vw uk say is a b4 as they didn't sell the b5 until may 97....they even said it's a dvla error on the log book despite having the handbook with dealer stamp that also says feb 97)

[kells]

yep, we all know vw do some strange things epecially with the dates and specs..im not sure if the rims have date codes on them like for example series 1 RS turbos have, be interesting if they did!

So your car has 14" alloys with 17" tyres and alloy wheel covers? Damn that's impressive
