Hi guys,

I'm new to the Golf platform and really hoping someone can help me out! I bought a 2006 MK5 Golf 2.0TDI with a brake problem.

When you first drive the car it has NO BRAKES. You press the pedal and its rock hard and the ABS pump runs. As soon as you go over 20mph the brakes come back and they're fine for the rest of the journey.

Ive taken it to two garages for diagnoses and still not sure what the problem is. Inspection of all vacuum and servo pipes found a split hose, this was replaced but still no better. Near side front calliper is seized but wheel moves relatively freely so can't be too bad.

My plan is to replace the bad calliper but surely this can't be the issue?! Hopefully one of you geniuses out there has seen this before or can point me in the right direction!
