Part number on my vw mk3 1996 is for a pipe from the crankcase pressure valve, 037 103 493 AK hose/pipe £13.69 plus at vw garage, 10 mins to fit, the pipe had worn holes in the corners, car runs fine now no cutting out at junctions or roundabouts.

i would start by cleaning out the throttle body. they collect soot and not have to be a lot either for it to mess up the idle speed, i had trhis on mine soon as i dipped the clutch to slow down the rpm dropped to about 400 to stall, i cleaned throttle body out ( taking air intake off and wipe round inside and the butterfly will be enough) and now it idles and the rpm dont drop below 900

I had a 1.4 8 valve and it used to cut out when slowing down, it also used to lose power for a few seconds when driving on the motor way. I replaced head gaskets throtle bodies and everything and it ended up being the engine bay lome. maybe its the same with yours!!
