I think the solution would be to either trade it in or take it to the scrap yard!
First job is to get the throttle butterfly cleaned thoroughly with some carb cleaner.
When I had similar problems with an old Astra, it turned out to be a small 'stepper' motor which controlled the idling speed. Once replaced, the problem was cured.
^ that was an idle bypass valve (which does the same job)
Polo does not have same system.
