Get the MAF sensor checked, and get the diagnostic codes read. You need
to get friendly with someone with VAG-COM.

Its a piece of diagnotic software used for diagnosing problems with your car
and a few other neat little things.

http://www.ross-tech.com/ should help you out. It's a PC-based
diagnostic package you can check your car with.

Any of the VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda forums usually maintain a list of members
with vag-com.
