Newer is not necessarily better!

If you have low coolant warning and it only loses a little go hunt it down anyway, when it decides to turn into a lot it WILL be at the most inconvenient time/place.

Even with a massive leak you can abuse the V6 engine to un-thought of levels and it will still run.
Take the pi$$ and it will give up on you.

Stripping it down to oil cooler level is a breeze.
VX need a kick in the nads for making the injector riser so tight to get out.

The ABS ECU is not only as bad as people say to get out, it's worse.
VX need a kick in the nads for placing it there, 6 screws and 2 connectors should be a 10 min job.

People who change these things for a living don't get paid enough!!

This post has been brought to you by 5 hours of ABS ECU removal, you think of all sorts of things as you curse away.

There is a nack to that one.

There is a nack to that one. 

Which I spotted reasonably quickly but even so it's a cozy fit

Its a good design then 

The ABS I seem to recall is on the opposite side on LHD cars.....hence its one of the design compromises

You forgot the obvious one...

...v6 owners should always carry a crank sensor in the boot

You just tilt it. Hardly any great secret!?

It was because of your problems re a lack of crank sensor that I bought a spare for my boot for our trip to France last year. It came in very handy a few months
back one Friday afternoon just before we joined the motorway. When the recovery bloke arrived, I told him the fault & handed him the spare!  It was a first  for him to be given the correct part for the job at the roadside.

and I have put another in the boot

I shouldn't say this...... in 8 years of ownership i've never had one go. There, doomed now

It's only a secret until you spot the indentations in the head that it sits in.

Well, if my misfortune, and my subsequent advice has helped others, thats what makes me return to this site

I'm allowed grammar mistakes after spending as many hours as I did on the ABS today

That could be easily changed if necessary
