	Do you mean you had your mixture adjusted or just set the idle with the
small screw on the back of the throttle body? If you adjusted the
mixture (or someone adjusted  it for you) when it's warm outside or they
didn't wait until the engine got cold again then the mixture is too
rich.  I had the same problem until a friend of mine told me how to set
the mixture.  Your problems did started after setting the mixture
right?  Therfore, logically (my impression of Spock) that's where the
cause of your problem lies.

	I have swapped Scirocco and Rabbit seats and there was no problem, I
even made a new version by having a normal 'rocco seat and a bucket back
the parts are all interchangable.  BUT! Some seats came with the
seatbelt anchor attached to the floor and others with it attached to the
seat, those ones are not compatible.
