Looking to buy T4 2.5 TDI Transporter - ABS Question?

[Pundit]

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a late T4 2.5 TDI Manual Transporter (panel van - no windows) possibly a LWB version.
By late I mean around 2002-2004 unless I can find a slightly earlier one in good nick.

Can someone please tell me if the T4's came with ABS as standard or was it an option?
I believe ABS may have been optional on the earlier models but what about the later ones?

A friend of mine has a 1997 T4 2.5 (petrol) and it doesn't appear to have ABS while the owners manual seems to show it as an option. He seems to think it does have ABS but checking under the bonnet I can't see an ABS pump unless it's located somewhere other than the engine bay.

I'm currently talking to a potential seller about a 2003 LWB 2.5 TDI and while he tells me over the phone it has ABS I'm not completely convinced.

Cheers!
