I'm suggesting a re-flash to replace all the control data and executable code with a standard set of code from VW. The ECU contains far more stuff than just the numbers that are changed during the remap. This will also ensure that any old fault codes are reset, which might be causing your problem.

If you're planning a full mechanical rebuild anyway I don't understand youre resistance to doing this very obvious and low cost thing.

After all, what are you going to do if the MAF sensor doesn't make any difference?
