Sticky Brakes (Brakes Not Fully Releasing)

[George Selby]

Good luck, seems to be a VAG thing.  My 90 Jetta had a problem with 
the front brakes locking up, and I literally replaced every part of 
the braking system (I bought the car, and it had rusted out rear 
lines, so I basically replaced everything.)

My 90 200 also occasionally had locked up front brakes, and it's the 
brake system that essentially made me stop driving it, as it 
currently needs a master cylinder, a brake bomb, a rear proportioning 
valve throw that in with it needing some AC work and it needs some 
suspension work (it eats front tires) and it costs more to fix than 
it's worth.  Incidentally, I have a 200 with a good engine and 
automatic transmission if someone is interested, it's going to the 
crusher soon.
