differences between gen 2 years

[turtlezx]

Hey ive only owned gen 1s. Thinking about picking a wadded up gen 2 off copart.
What changes were made over the years on them? See repair manuals for 08-13
that work for all years ? Or should i pickup 1 that covers all years?
Any particular changes that are not interchangeable with other years part wise?

iam all ears fill me in
thanx turtlezx

2008 to 2012 were the same except color (2008 had a regulator/rectifier recall), 2013 got Brembo calipers and ABS.

Somewhere in the later models they changed the fuel pump...

in german language there is a manual for all years ´08-´16 , so incl. abs (part 4E) etc., in ONE book.

so i suppose that should exist also in english .

but for all basics , motor, chassis u also can use the ´08-´12 "part" - those are similar .

No
All the Gen2's have a stand alone ABS unit.
The ecus are the same with and without ABS.

Do you need a Gen2 ecu?
