VW Golf 1.4 - Engine Emission Light & No Power on VW Golf - cadders

The car is an 02 plate with 88k on the clock. Emissions light came on today, car sounds rough and is struggling when idling at about 800rpm. I have no power and generally it sounds like the exhaust is blowing. Am taking it to a garage tomorrow but wanted views on what the problem might be and a rough idea of how much it might cost.

Cheers
