Welcome to VWAF

Sounds like another failed/failing MAF

Yes it is, Mass Air Flow sensor... although VAG call it an AMM (Air Mass Meter).

Its located on the pipe by the airbox. If replacing, fit a GENUINE one from your dealership only. The Bosch ones can be hopeless.

I'm assuming fuel economy has dropped off too?
