i believe its a safety feature to warn other drivers than your choosing to brake late so they dont end up parking their car in your boot

It felt worse than an emergency stop and she got a crazy beep of the horn and daggers for as long as i could see her.

would you rather have your hazards flash for a min and annoy you
or
have an old lady hit you ni the back not knowing that you were braking that hard?
i no what i would prefer

oh well, there'll be less 180's in a few years when they smash them up.
Then values will go up again

Not so sure on that, seen what happened to the Saxos? Don't see many of them going back up in value!
Or the Type R's for that fact.

the gti-6 was the last pug which impressed the motorworld and they are worth sweet f/a these days

#23: Re: Hard braking in a 180 Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Sat Jul 31, 2010 1:31 pm ---- Is it hazards coming on not to do with the ESP kicking in under hard braking? As the hazards only tend to come under emergency braking in other 206's.
#24: Re: Hard braking in a 180 Author: lnorth, Location: Coventry/LeedsPosted: Sat Jul 31, 2010 1:38 pm ---- Well what I was wondering, sort of related to the post above, what cars have this feature?
Is it only 180's or only cars with ESP or cars with ABS/EBFD? Or is it just a random optional extra...is there anyway of telling from the servicebox?
#25: Re: Hard braking in a 180 Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat Jul 31, 2010 1:42 pm ---- Don't drive like a

#27: Re: Hard braking in a 180 Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat Jul 31, 2010 1:57 pm ---- I think all phase two cars came with ABS, then the rest depends on spec. Only the Gti180 and GTi HDi (i think) came with ESP.
You can look it up on service box, check the characteristics of the car.

EBA + auto hazard lights are listed on SE models and upwards from January 2004
ESP is listed on GTi models from April 2004
#34: Re: Hard braking in a 180 Author: lnorth, Location: Coventry/LeedsPosted: Sat Jul 31, 2010 3:03 pm ---- I have a phase 2 03, that doesn't have ABS

1.1's are less likely to warrant auto-hazards as much as higher-spec models [with disc brakes all-round]
#36: Re: Hard braking in a 180 Author: lnorth, Location: Coventry/LeedsPosted: Sat Jul 31, 2010 3:15 pm ---- That is very very true
I wish I had more power haha, still never know might find a pot of gold and get a GTi180 one day

My 1.4 8v with drums on the back had the auto hazards.
#38: Re: Hard braking in a 180 Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Mon Aug 02, 2010 4:34 am ---- I've only had the auto hazards come on once in the 3 years i've had it... you'd have to be driving like a bit of a tit to get them on regularly enough to be annoying.
LOL at some of the comments in this thread tho... proper funny stuff, wish i'd seen it sooner.

#42: Re: Hard braking in a 180 Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Mon Aug 02, 2010 4:42 am ---- Lol, It happened to me about 3 times over 2 years in my 1.4, one of those was doing it on purpose in a safe place. Two emergency stops.
He really must have been driving like a d**k, just saw the crash photos! lol!
#43: Re: Hard braking in a 180 Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Mon Aug 02, 2010 4:45 am ---- Yea I just saw those photos too, sounds like he was only third party if he's selling the bits off this quick. Fail

What you mean suprised. ESP is good or bad ?
#58: Re: Hard braking in a 180 Author: shaker, Location: AustriaPosted: Mon Aug 02, 2010 11:14 am ---- ESP is good for normal road use.
On track, the first 3-4 times i used ESP to get to some experience, and start learning where my driving-skills stop.
When i de-activated it for the first time on track, i felt a much more agressive turn-in, and it sort of wants power earlier.
(ESP cuts power if it feels the car is going too close to the limit, and helps prevent wheelspin.. atleast that's what i think?)
Always remember though, know your personal limitations!!
Seen a few cars spin out, and worst case was a Porsche Boxster that got totalled - never got to chat with the owner, but it looked like the rear started stepping out, and before he could correct it, one of the wheels got on the grass and from there on, you're basically reduced to being a passenger..
