Could be lots of things from fuel tank breather to electronics. Diagnosis needs to be by logical progression following such clues that are available.

It would be best practice to begin by making certain the routine maintenance is up to date and competently carried out.

Either you have a faulty oil pressure switch or the pick up screen of the oil pump is clogged. I would change the switch first as it's 10 bucks not expensive then go on from there

Don't shoot me. But this is an old problem. The old polos did the same. I used to drive. Then It would just cut out. Leave it standing for around 20minutes. Start it again. And it runs like there were never a problem. Solution.fuel pump relay. Out of my own experience

Screen washers will not work on my vw polo 61reg fuse has gone. where is the screen wash fuse in a vw polo 61 reg?

I really doubt the problem is a fuse. More likely the pump is defective or plugged or the washer switch is defective, use a test light and problem the connector to see if it lights when the washer is activated by the switch. If it was a fuse it will just blow again. Fuses blow for reason that is a shorted circuit.
