IF one of ther rears 'appears' to be catching and swingning you left, then that may simply be a knacked/siezed rear right caliper. Simple fix that one. However, if your locking up as regularly as you say then something is amiss big time! I drive like the next person and I can honestly say my brakes don't lock up.

Good luck in resolving the issue - be a shame to loose another Gti to a bump.

£10 says it's got Nankang or Dark Horse or some other shyte tyres on it.

And the compensator valve's not correctly adjusted.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

definately try pads first they are quite a common thing, if not my bet is on the callipers themselves, the bias valve on the back has nothing to do with the front brakes. good luck sorting it out, until then slow down!!

one way to test things involves makeing  bit of noise and a wide open space, 

just anchor up as hard as possibe and go look at the black lines,     mismatched tyers can cause really ghey handeling even if both high quality tyers,  eg  an avon zv3 on one side and a yoko a539 on the other.    zv3 will allways lock first in the dry  but yoko lock first in wet.  ( they let air n then  and that unbalances everything )
