For the misfiring check your spark plugs it can be that simple... i got a mkiv golf too.

Autolites last as long for me as the NGK's. Either of them last about 10k miles for me. Any longer than that and I start getting missfires. The Autolites can be found for about $1.00 each
Pros: last 10k miles, cheap
Cons: misfires after 10k miles
Mileage: 10000 km
Once we got a good local supplier for Motorcraft plugs a few years ago we almost never install Autolite.
Pros: good local supplier
Cons: almost never install
There seems to have been quality issues with those for quite a while. I couldn't count how many times we removed fairly new Autolite spark plugs and replaced them with a better brand to fix a misfire.
Pros: fixes misfire
Cons: quality issues
I wouldn’t put autolite plugs even in my lawnmower. NGK or Denso only.
Do not get Autolite, I've seen them cause trouble and issues in Honda engines.
Cons: cause trouble, issues
Vehicle:
Honda
Yesterday, I installed new spark plugs in my 2004 TJ. Going off [this thread](https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/what-are-the-best-spark-plugs-for-my-jeep-wrangler-tj-4-0.4196/) I purchased the Autolite XP985. Originally, I gapped the plugs to .04 based on [this thread](https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/spark-plug-gap-for-4-0.17415/). The jeep ran terribly and actually threw a check engine light.
I went back today and changed all the gaps to .035 based on the note under the hood, but I still think the idle is a bit rougher then what it was before the change.
Cons: rough idle, check engine light
Vehicle:
Jeep
Part number: XP985
