I'm assuming you've also tweeked with the idle set screw?

Have you replaced the timing belt and reset everything?

I had very similar problems with my '81 Convertible.  NO matter what we did,
we could NOT get the triplet {timing, mixture screw, distributor} to match
up.  Either it idled VERY roughly or had zero power.  When we put a fuel
distributor from a Scirocco on, it was a totally changed car.  The only
problem now is that it starts very hard, takes a lot of cranking.  There
was a switch on the old fuel distributor that wasn't on the Scirocco one.
Well, it won't matter much longer...say 16V!
