ABS Delete

[Jellybean]

I notice lately a lot of owners are deleting their ABS to facilitate the ‘Clean’ engine bay

 

Some models it was an optional extra

 

If we ignore the elephant in the room , it is there for your safety

 

• In terms of the availability of parts to maintain the system , I am tempted to do a delete now while the engine is out, new Brake master is getting fitted
  
• Wheel speed sensors are becoming difficult to source , Forget if front/rears are discontinued ; only alternative may be to run digital speed sensors
  
• Does a standalone ECU still retain the functionality of ABS, considering it uses the Yaw control module to independently control each caliper ? Trac ECU failed on mine , this was removed
  

 

 

To even know if it is feasible here for the NCT (MOT) ,

 

As I have an RZ model ABS was Standard

 

We have no indication on the VIN to suggest ABS was fitted

Only indicator is the ABS light in the dash, this can be blanked off, Will the wheel hub have provision for an ABS sensor vs an A80 model without ABS does not?

 

Basically , if I delete the ABS , will the tester have a valid argument to categorically say it was fitted with ABS put it back or no cert
