Think it was a yank only option, or maybe European but not UK.

There is a petrol system available but it works off vacuum and is too complicated and in-accurate to be worth the bother.

No ABS needed, it will retro fit to any Mk3 TDI.

Correct, the retro fit kit comes with a booklet and shows how to activate it.
