i had a similar problem with my last polo. Turned out to be a broken gear linkage and an easy fix. Hopefully yours is the same and not a problem within the transmission itself

its when the faries that live in your car decide you've not been good enough, they put their patented billy bob false teeth in and chew through various components - apparently the only way to get rid of them and restore peace and happiness to your polo is to keep a puddy cat in your car, faries can't stand the smell of cats widdle

hope that helps
