How are you going to get round the abs on the mk7 axle I've been told it won't work on the mk6?

Stephen Ferguson got it working by transferring the mk6 abs rings on to the mk7 axel, welding
Was involved, but he had it all working

Not all mk6's have ABS

[tourneo newbie]

What if you put it on a mk6 that does have abs will it still be ok or will the brakes not work

Brakes will still work.

Although may end up with ABS light on. Not sure on that one. Never done one on a mk6 with ABS.
It will be something I can easily sort, even if it means retro fitting mk6 ABS ring & sensor onto mk7 hubs

Mind you that 5kg reel has lasted me nearly 2 years.

I've got abs light on at mo anyway lol due to a broken front wire so not fussed about that I've been offered a mk7 rear axle that's been redrilled to fit bmw wheels so just wanted to make sure it would be ok

Yes brakes will work no problem. I don't think BMW alloys will be any good for a van - Load rating

Removed old heater assembly



Fitted replacement



Mk7 dash & door seals fitted - Including gearshift cables





Including all heater air ducting

[tourneo newbie]

Bmw wheels will be fine there off an x5 so there load rated

X5's are 3 tonne GVW so those alloys should be fine for a Transit T280

Purchased a new 5kg reel today to finish off welding job I started yesterday.



& still didn't get to finish it due to rain
