I am reposting with some more details. I am the "boyfriend" from the original post :))
All this started with a busted soft line on the driver side. Both front soft lines looked ancient so when the one broke I replaced both of them. Since then we have been completely without front brakes, but the back brakes have been fine. I have changed all 4 wheel cylinders, the master cylinder twice, the soft and hard lines, adjusted the brake pedal, re-verified that the shoes are adjusted properly, and replaced the the rubber tubing that connects the reservoir to the master cylinder. With all of this the problem is the exact same as when it started...no fronts and the backs are 100%.
The master cylinder has a seperated reservoir, one side for the front and one side for the back. It has two seperate inlets, one for the front and one for the back. If that doesn't make sense look @ the exploded view on wolfsburgwestdotcom. It DOES NOT look like that. It has 2 inlets to the reservoir.
