Brakes! It's almost certain that the calipers are frozen, the MC may be rusted and leaking, and the main line to the rear may be rusted thru under the gas pedal.

Rebuilt OE parts (especially the front calipers) are better than the replacement parts currently available. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
