VW Golf brakes?

have you recently had work done on the brakes? they might need bleeding. check the brake fluid level, is it low/empty? if so, you may have a leak somewhere, get someone to apply brake pressure and check all brake pipes and calipers/wheel cylinders. check clutch slave cylinder if one is fitted as these are usually connected to the brake master cylinder. if all is good you will have to investigate the master cylinder/brake servo.
