100 cs loseing brakes + im gonna be a quattro owner, finally !!!

When this happens, if you could put both feet on the brake pedal, you
would.

Could be simply low level in the hydraulic reservoir from chronically
leaky steering rack, or maybe a bad bomb (accumulator).  Probably not
the master cylinder.

Still bet you got a deal.
