I think you're talking about the load compensator valve, which is independent of the ABS. It adjusts the braking pressure to the rear brakes, depending on the amount of weight in the back of the car.
Like Bash, am not totally sure what you were looking to do. Swap existing drums on to the GTI-6 beam? If you can clarify then I'm sure you'll get the help you're looking for.

Yeah as they've said that's probably the load compensator, make sure it's free to move and keep it on there. The only abs related thing you'll have to remove will be the sensors if they have been left in.

Hi everyone its nice to join into a big community for the 306.
I have drums beam Right now and i want to swap it into a disc beam the gti6 one. This is what i ment.
RE: Rear beam change - welshpug - 20-07-2017
fit the complete beam including the load compensator, otherwise you will be locking the rear brakes under hard braking.
the drum beam will have pressure limiters integral to the wheel cylinders.
also, the gti6 beam will need a rebuild if it hasnt had one

So the main brake lines thet comes from the Master cylinder will get into the load compensator and from the load compensator its out the the calippers?

That's right.
RE: Rear beam change - LironTurbo - 21-07-2017
Do we have a pictured guide?

This is a useful starting point. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YIlufXjYQjo.
The video was done by one of the members on here. As mentioned in the vid, you will need to change the handbrake cables to disc specific ones.
If you're wanting to rebuild the GTi-6 beam, as recommended above, there are various guides on the internet.

I only recently did my first beam change & it went ok so hopefully you'll be fine too. Keep us updated.
