Haha, I had the same symptoms as Al on ONE front brake on my S3.
Flexible hose looked OK on the outside, but inside it was gummed up. The
booster FORCES fluid through, but there is nothing at the caliper to
FORCE it back, so the brake binds until the fluid can oooooze back at
it's own speed. New hoses fixed it.
Al said he replaced lines and hoses though, so it sounds like a booster
problem.
Cheers,
Paul.

Ian,
Why is that? Explain me. I maybe should do mine now.
