#1: gti 180 brakes Author: Achie, Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2014 3:09 pm ---- I've got a 1.4 petrol 206, will the discs and calipers off a gti 180 fit, will they just be a straight swap or is there further stuff needed?? Any info is appreciated!!

#4: Re: gti 180 brakes Author: Achie, Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2014 4:03 pm ---- I've got 17" wheels on it, I'm looking at the gti 180 set up just because I'm hoping to do an engine conversion later on also,

You should have an ABS light in the instrument cluster that comes on w/ ignition for test and the goes out. Just right of the airbag lights and just below the fog lights indicators (in the angle between the fuel and rev gauges)
Or check the back of your wheel hubs for toothed rings and reader sensors...
(youtube has videos, and google images, of what they look like)
Or find a straight stretch of road and step HARD on the brake pedal (after checking there's no traffic behind you!).
If your wheels lock up and you leave black streaks and smoke behind you, you don't have ABS.
If the wheels don't lock up and there's no noise and smoke, but the brake pedal pulsates/vibrates under your foot - you've have ABS.

Biggest waste of time & money going, why do people never learn
