its quite easy to do, first off it tells you on page 54 of your polo owners guide,
and if you used the search function it would be found here

trust me it works, ive done it a few times on my polo,

if you really cant get it to work. find someone with vag com on a laptop and an odbII cable to reset it.

or mabe leave the battery undone for a day or 2

but use the instructions in the users guide firs then try all else it takes a couple of goes toget the nac
