Looks a nice car mate, always liked them in dragon green. Best to get rid of the TDI back box and put a decent exhaust on it.

Could well be a sticky caliper, quite common on mk3s. Mine was completely seized though and had to fork out for a refurb one at about £75! More likely to just be a rear sensor though, VAG COM diagnostic scan is the easiest way to sort it as the fault codes will need clearing once the fault is found and fixed. If you have a multimeter then you can find the problem easy
