2001 Volkswagen Polo loses cylinders 2&3

Car: Volkswagen Polo
Year: 2001
Variant: 1.4 Auto
Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
Once warmed up and running around 10 miles, the engine losses power. Engine management light comes on and after logging on gives the same four errors about misfire and ECU blocking. Is there a common fault on Polo's I can get advise on?

you really need to start at your plugs and work back from there, if you can pull them all out and leave everything connected, touching plugs to earth crank it over and see whats sparking.
if its only when hot it could be coil pack breaking down or plugs leads, whatever you have fitted on that model
