Hi!
I am experiencing a small problem with the brake pedal in my 2002 Jetta 1.8T. When I press the brake pedal lightly, frequently upon releasing the pedal it does not return to the full up position and I find that the brakes are still applied. If I put my foot behind the brake pedal I can push it back up to its full up position and the brakes are no longer applied. This only happens when I press on the pedal lightly. If I apply full force to the brake pedal, upon releasing it, it always returns to its full up position and the brakes release completely. I took the car into my local dealer and they said they could not reproduce the problem and that the brake system was functioning within factory specs. After further explanation of the problem the service consultant seemed to understand what I was talking about but had no idea what could be causing the problem. He said he would look into it and give me a call. I'm still waiting.
Has anyone else had a similar problem, or have any ideas what might be causing the problem?
Thanks!
