16V problems... Interesting discovery

Actually, CIS-E does have a limp home mode, specifically designed for knock
sensor or engine temp sensor failure.

Remove the plugs at the knock and temp sender, clean the contacts and
reinstall.  Also, check the knock sensor wire to make sure that there are no
nicks in the sheilding.  The wire has a grounding sheith? around it that can
produce faults when broken.

There are a lot of new cars nowadays that have a "limp mode"  whereas the
computer senses something amiss and reduces power.  Our Sciroccos are not
nearly that sophisticated.  Something mechanical on the car is just plain
"Broke".  I would start with the ignition system first, like Spark plug
wires, coil, distributor etc.   Good Luck.
