My old polo used to do that, mainly cause it was a poop engine, but it was a mucky carb i think.
Have you tried running petrol cleaner through it, works wonders.

Sounds like a dirty carb, run REDEX threw it mate - Think you bought some off me in work, its only £1 and you add it to your petrol.

I know that on the later mk 5 or 6, there is a problem with the fuel regulator or auto choke that plays up, my mate has had the same problem, ford quoted him £230 and that was for the part only.
