Is the battery fully charged?

If you reckon it is, you might try this trick as a long shot...disconnect the battery for half an hour or so, then hook it back up and see what happens. You could have a charger hooked up to the battery while it's disconnected, just to give it some more zap.

Might be a good idea to have your radio security code handy...just in case.

Not sure this method will work with a VW, but I've used it on lots of other makes and it has worked a treat.

And all it will cost you is a bit of time!

At least you have the problem isolated now..tbh I never considered the maf as in all the diesels I've owned, only one (Pug 406) had it go sour and then it used to throw me into limp mode.

Cheers
