Well, there should be a remote reservoir bottle for the brake master cylinder on the passenger side of the front luggage compartment. The master
cylinder itself is down on the floor, and usually accessed by taking the front right-hand wheel off.

check out ;
http://www.vw-resource.com/
good info there...
master cylinder is behind the brake pedal underneath the car..
check all wheels for brake fluid leakage..
also check the master cylinder for leaks...
and that the brake reservoir has fluid in it...
