Why does the new Jetta sometimes have unstable idle speed when it is hot?

Check the engine water temperature sensor! It should be about the water temperature sensor. The engine has two water temperature sensors. One is for the instrument and the other is for the computer. The one for the instrument tells you the current water temperature display, and the one for the computer tells the computer the current temperature of the car engine.
