Strange but brief engine cut out after 10 minutes

Hi all
This is my first post - I’ve been scouring the internet for an answer and so far come up with nothing so I’m hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction…
My stepson has recently bought his first car - a 2010 1.4 petrol Polo. I’ve had the cam belt changed, changed the plugs and fitted new crank and camshaft sensors but still after around 10 minutes of driving the engine will cut out for a split second (you just see the rev counter drop to 0) then instantly fire up again and it’s fine for the rest of the journey. I’m thinking maybe it’s something to do with the thermostat opening. Any thoughts please?
Cheers
Mike
