Foot brake liquid with a diagonal connection and brake booster. The influence of the first and second circuits is in the ratio 1:1. The first circuit acts on the brakes of the right front and left rear wheels, the second circuit controls the brakes of the left front and right rear wheels. On the main tandem brake cylinder at the primary circuit, the leads are at the back (in the direction of travel), the second - in front. Front wheel brakes are always disc brakes with internal air-cooled disc. Depending on the engine that the car is equipped with, the discs have a diameter of 256 or 280 mm. In vehicles with 1.9 TDI-66 kW and 1.8-92 kW engines, the disc diameter is 280 mm.
Rear wheel brakes can be drum or disc. Which? Again, it depends on the type of engine installed on the car. On vehicles with engines 1.6–55 kW and 1.9 TDI–66 kW, rear drum brakes are standard. Vehicles with 1.8-92 kW engines are equipped with rear disc brakes and always with ABS. The action of the brakes on the rear axle in all versions of vehicles not equipped with ABS or ABS / EDS is regulated by a load regulator.
Brake system in both versions (with rear drum and disc brakes) can be equipped with ABS or ABS / EDS or without them at all (EDS = electronic differential lock).
The brake fluid storage tank is connected in one mounting unit with the main brake tandem cylinder (THV). It contains a built-in float system for electrically signaling the height of the liquid level.
The parking brake is mechanical, the connection between the lever and the brake elements of the rear wheels is carried out through a cable in a flexible sheath.
