Hi there and welcome.

Which engined Polo do you have?

It could be a brakes light bulb, if you say the brake light switch is working.

EPC only came on in my polo's when it was the brake light switch, if a brake light failed I would get no notification.

My suggestion would be to scan the ECU for errors.
