It was optional on sports standard on GSI s case closed.

corsa120, u got heated seats, thats jamy!

my 1.6 sport does not have abs..

depends on year I think..Up to a certain year it was an optional extra.

my 1.4 16v now a 1.6 16v came with abs other lad must have had put on but also got heated seats, leccy mirrors, air con, leccy windows, pas, heated mirrors and central locking these are what mines got

1.6 w 2000 model - has abs, wasn't an addiotnal option

Who needs ABS anyway, increases your brake distances, (proved you can control hard braking without locking)
And it's extra weight ot carry, somethign to go wrong.
If you look under the bonnet you should see a big metal block with lots of brake piping (copper) coming in and out, which is the abs unit.

cheers, will check it later, can't be bothered at the moment :lol:

you can check if ya got it, look under the bonnet there will be a cylinder on the right hand side behind the headlight with a load of green brake line running into it and a black slide off cap on the end, thats the ABS pump

ABS is probably an extra option on your car then.

Mind u like i said i've not tried mine yet so i might give it a go :thumbs:

ABS was standard on the early GSI's, the only options were electric mirrors, windows and air bag me thinks.
Must have been an option on your motor, one less thing to go wrong though, the ABS system does tend to play up from time to time

do u have air con Neil?

My V reg 1.6 has ABS

yeah my early GSI has ABS

my 1.6 sport doens't have ABS, that's what i've been told.

i thought it was only on the earlier GSi models

I thought it was an optional extra?

yes

an easy way to test them is:-

take your car to a quiet empty car park

at a constant 30mph stamp on the brakes, if you get a loud constant thud thud thud noise that is the ABS working

if the car just locks up & slides, then they aint workin

This might sound daft but does the 1.6 sport have ABS brakes
