you dont neccesarily need vag com, any decent scan tool should be up to the job, what engine has the polo got? does car not start?

just been thinking the usual culprits to bring the lamp on is,brake light switch, coolant temp sensor, coil packs where it will misfire or valve seats worn which cause a misfire at idle
