On final Runway 35L DEN; approximately 500 FT AGL; experienced a 20 kt loss of airspeed followed by a Windshear warning. We started an escape maneuver and after two windshear callouts; the warning ceased and we continued with a normal go-around. On downwind; we were told to plan on the visual approach to 35R; adding to our workload. I selected managed speed [and] the aircraft started to accelerate. I'm not sure if I activated the approach; but I could have sworn the speed bug was at Vapp. To prevent a flap overspeed; I disconnected the auto pilot and auto throttles and went to idle power. We were definitely unstable at 1000 FT; but we were day VMC. I continued high and fast; working back to glideslope and approach speed. We then got a master warning light with 2 ECAM messages. I saw the one labeled 'ENG 1 EGT OVER LIMIT'. This confused us; because at that time; the power was still at idle. As we neared 500 FT; still 15 kts fast; coming out of idle; engines starting to spool up; I elected not to go around because I was uncertain of the condition of the #1 engine. Smooth winds; long runway; it was a safe landing. I never caught the 2nd ECAM message.
During the approach to Runway 35L in DEN we experienced a loss of 20knots on short final and windshear warning. We initiated an escape maneuver and went around. The go around itself was uneventful. On downwind we were assigned Runway 35R. This added to our work load. I reprogrammed the FMS for 35R. On final I noticed the master caution lights on the glare shield. I tried to figure out what was causing it. I realized on the ECAM that the left engine was over its temperature limits. Auto thrust was disconnected; however the caution light remained on. We were out of the stabilized approach parameters. Captain made the decision to continue the approach since we were uncertain of the condition of number one engine. The Landing was uneventful.
Air carrier flight crew reported executing a go-around after encountering wind shear on final at DEN.
