Start the car.
Unplug the MAF the car revs should drop.
Turn the car off.
Go for a drive, if it feels 100% better then chances are you MAF is knackered, and get a genuine one (you'll pay more but you can go through 2/3 non genuine ones in a year) Also if yours isnt genuine VW will hit you for about a £50 surcharge!
