I would suggest that you consult somone with a VAG-COM, who can help you to monitor the vehicle while you are driving. The problems could be caused by a bad "Air metering Device" (called a LMM in Germany)

the fuel pressure maybe weak due to damaged fuel pump

these polo's are renowned for the throttle sensor packing up... get on vagcom / diagnostic lead, that'd tell all

If VagCom diagnostic software is possible to use in this car, I'll give a vote for it too!

NOTE: The program is free to use for options like monitoring motor so only thing you need to pay is the cord from the computer to the car. Here Finland I bought mine third party copy by something like a 30€s. Not expensive investment.
