my mk1 used to do this.. turned out to be a bad master cylinder.. the front breaks would stick soo bad sometimes that i could barely get the car to move.. it was still a n/a.

new/different master cylinder cured it..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

I had a mk1 do it too, adjusted (shortened) the rod that pushes in on the MC and that fixed it.
Look, if corn and kudzu fall in love and have a baby in a lab under the supervision of scientists working in my employ, WHO AM I TO STOP THAT other than the CEO responsible for stopping it???
