Hi! I have a 2001 match se polo. i've noticed the last couple of days, when the cars been left parked for a while and then when i come back 2 use it, when i pull off it feels like my back wheels are locked, you can here it as i pull off the car jerks as it forses the tyres to move. its fine when driving, but if left stationary then it happens. and it sounds like its getting worse, i had 2 really force the car to move this afternoon! if any1 has any ideas of whats causing it?? or what i can do to stop it?? i would be so greatful :D !

Many Thanks,

Rose

Disc's all around? Sounds like you may have a slightly siezed Caliper on the rear. Cant remember if that model has the combo brake, a small drunm in the disc that acts as the hand brake. Brakes are sticking for sure.

Yes the brakes are sticking, get them checked at your local garage!
