Remove a front wheel and look on the hub ( what your wheel attaches to) and in front of the suspension if your car has ABS then their should be a sensor normally black with a cable running back into the car, the sensor looks down on what looks like a cog with lots of teeth what the sensor counts to compute wheel speed so if your car has either of these then your car has ABS the same check can be done on the rear wheels to figure out what sort of ABS you have but thats a whole other area of the braking system
Yes they are. Very few vehicles are built without abs anymore.
An ABS brake is another term for an antilock brake, a brake fitted to some vehicles to prevent skidding and compensate for overbraking.
ABS came as standard equipment on the 95. It has ABS.
It is the same with the petrol xantia having a glow plug light but the car isn't diesel,its just a standard feature on the dashboard,

Steady application of the brakes. You do not pump the brakes on an ABS fitted vehicle.
The easiest way is to turn the key to on. If you have ABS there will be a yellow light come on. It will say ABS.
when you turn the car on, usually the lights on the dash show up "ABS"
There will be a two wire sensor sticking out of the top of the "pumpkin" if it has ABS.
your abs sensor light is on probably becuase the abs in one or all of your breaks are not working, take it to a mechanic so they can tell you if that is for sure the problem.
I cannot see why you would want to, it saves lives. However, remove the entire braking system and replace with a type-approved non-abs system. For fault diagnosis only, disconnect the abs block wiring. NOTE:Running a vehicle with fitted abs inhibited, unless designed to do so, is dangerous and could invalidate insurance.
Get some speed up, then brake hard. If you feel the brake pedal pulsating you have ABS:
