My 1996 tdi wagon drives a bit 'wallowy/floaty/??' and I'm wondering if that is normal for it.

It is if your struts and shocks are worn out. How many miles/years do they have on them?

Only the B4V left
Not normal at all Could be bushings, swaybar end links, or struts. Hard to pinpoint without looking into it more. One of the things I loved was how my B4 would corner like it's on rails and be absolutely glued to the road. My B4V is now pretty tight but needs the swaybar links replaced.
