    Firing on 2 cylinders is a symptom of a problem, not a problem itself. Do you know what's wrong with the car that's causing it to fire on 2 cylinders.

    It might be something like a faulty coil pack. Common thing on VWs and other cars.

    Brian is right, the coils on the 1.4 Golf can be troublesome, especially on older generation engine (AXP).They solved this in 02. Shouldn't be too costly, (2-3 hundred) but get a good mechanic to do the work and give it a check over for wear.
