Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
I have a problem where the revs suddenly drop to 0 the whole car cuts out and beeps. when i start again it chugs then dies. If i press the throttle it chugs even more attempts to get going then die again. Sometimes it works again but sometimes it's had to be towed home but will suddenly work again the next day! i have had a new coil and throttle body!

Why does my 1999 VW polo 1.4 cl keep stalling on me?
Every time i slow down (put the clutch and the brake down) the car just cuts out.
Does anyone have an idea why?

Try cleaning the throttle body, you will have to have the basic settings of the throttle body reset after you remove it, it is located underneath the air filter housing.
