Ya, thats it!! 2 circuit thingie!!
 You know, its really wierd that VW ported all 4 wheels from the master 
cylinder instead of the prop valve. I havent touched my MC in my car (One of 
the few things I havent replaced yet... but its comming...) as far as really 
looking at the lines from the MC. It just looked like the prop valve under the 
MC would have 4 lines comming off of it and 2 lines from the MC. (Like most 
every other car I know uses this system) Im wondering if this system is nothing 
more than an overdesigned brake system or if it has a real potential for, say, 
giving braking pressure to other wheels when one is damages or leaking? 
Kinda makes ya think, dont it?
