I have a vdi without abs and asked maruti if I can get it installed on my car at a later date. the details of the conversation are mentioned below. Read through
Dear Sir,
We do not recommend retrofitment of ABS in non-ABS vehicle, since it
needs most of the electrical parts like instrument panel, wiring
harness, Engine control module, brake pipes etc of vehicle to be
replaced in order to do so.

My querry was :
Details : I have just purchased a Swift Vdi without ABS. I want to know
whether ABS can be installed on my car in the future? If not I would
appreciate if I get to know what is the technical aspect which stops the
ABS to be installed afterwards?
But here is some interesting information. I enquired the same thing from a maruti expert in my hometown who owns a showroom there. He said it can be done but it will be costly. It is better to sell of the car and get a new one. I am planning to do the same as I have felt the need for abs because I frequently drive on the highways and invariably on every trip there has been one occassion when my wheels have locked! |
