#1: ABS or Not ABS that is the Question !! Author: Linkpad, Location: WalesPosted: Mon Nov 21, 2011 8:32 am ---- I have a 206 GTI 138 W Reg 2000 which needs a new rear axle and i cannot for the life of me determine if it has ABS or not !!
I see a shiney metal thing below bonnet infront of headlights that looks like an ABS module, but i see no ABS light come on when ignition is on and i see no ABS wire connecting to the brakes themselves ? How can i tell ?

Most likely the bulb in the cluster has blown or more likely been removed to hide a fault
Check / replace the instrument cluster bulb for the ABS.

Then you will know if the axle is an ABS one.
I chopped mine off as my car doesn't have the safety feature to plug into.

Author: Linkpad, Location: WalesPosted: Tue Nov 22, 2011 2:19 am ---- Yeah, Thanks for the help i see 2 black cables on the bake caliper but they look Hydraulic but i haven't looked closely. As far as bulbs are concerned all my lights work properly so why would this effect the ABS but i do agree i do need a new Instrument cluster (problems).
If i get a Rear Axle with ABS does that mean i could just chop the wires off and still use it ?
Thanks

ABS warning light on the instrument cluster should come on at the pre start warning bulb check & go off after a few seconds after testing the system & finding eveything is ok.
Pop the cluster out & check / replace the bulb for the abs lamp.
