All 6N polos have drums on the rear (in the UK). They have self adjusting shoes and are notoriously shit.
When they stop self adjusting, the brake pedal gets longer in travel and it makes them feel rubbish. I’d be tempted to chuck a new set in and give all 4 brakes a bleed / a full fluid change if it’s not been done in the past 3 years
Mine has a rear disc conversion, you can directly swap all the parts from a later GTI model straight over. I think I paid £120 for a complete 2nd refurbed setup? It’s quite an easy conversion really
