But if im on a highway and I open it full it doesn't miss but only on low rev when I drive.

hi my polo drives perfect only when im driving on a low rev on every gear it has a slight miss but when in on a open road theirs no miss because im travelling fast but when im driving slow theirs a miss

Are there any trouble codes?
Such symptoms usually are caused by the EGR system.

Exhaust Recirculation System. Fuel filter seldom cause misfiring at low rpms.

Were the spark plugs and related components checkd? It could be a wire that is bad or loose
