Volkswagen Polo slight shake when sitting in idle, mpg too low and lack of power...please help

Car: Volkswagen Polo
Variant: E 55
Model Year: 2002
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi,

I’ve had my 2002 polo (E 55) for almost 3years now, when I first got it it drove beautifully and when sitting on idle you couldn’t tell if the car was on or off because it was so nice and quiet but now I got the following problems:

1- there is a slight annoying shake (rattle) when sitting on idle.

2 - the fuel consumption is poor and the car gives me about 60 miles to a £10 (at the price of £1.08 per litre)

3 - the car has lost most of its power and I could feel it being weak every time I drive it.

I know nothing about cars so please please help me.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You
