No what you have is a A1 VW Cabriolet. With CIS
Start with a tune up cap, plugs, wires, rotor, gas filter. timing timing timing
Check for vacuum leaks
Check the WUR (warm up regulator)
Check the salt-n-pepper valves on the passengers strut tower to verify connectivity to the power connectors, and no vacuum leaks.
Check the tube running from the air box to the throttle body for leaks.

Brian's given a good list of things to check.
Your complaint:
in the mornings it doesnt want to start or when its cold, or
when the car sits for a while after been driven.when it actually starts it doesnt want to stay rumming and then it feels like is back fireing, i have my gas pedal to the floor and it doesnt want to go at all. but once it i got it started... (20 min later) then the car runs ok how ever it does feel like it hesitates.....
Your description says it doesn't want to start when it's cold or when it's hot. At least that's what i get from what you said. The backfiring tells me it's may be a vacuum leak or a bad fuel filter.
1. Change the filter. Can't hurt and should be done anyway if not done recently.
2. Check the rubber boots around each end of the tube that connects the airbox to the throttle body. These crack and flex and leak air badly during cranking and acceleration.
3. Check for other vacuum leaks. Brian's list above is excellent.
4. If the WUR is clogged it will only meter fuel correctly for a warmed up engine making cold starting and running almost impossible. This can only be tested with a CIS pressure tester.
A Bentley manual makes all this very clear upon reading . http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
