[Vwdiesel] brake fluid 91 Jetta

[Tad]

I could be wrong, but it seems like the diagonal system would be more likely
to give erratic braking performance... pull to the side or something.

Also the front/rear split allows VW to do the clever brake-balancing system
where the rears do most of the light work - which seemed dumb at first but
I've grown to like.
