Upstream electronic malfunctions can cause sensors to appear bad. Unfortunately the symptom of the problem doesn't always trace back to a simple solution. For this reason live data streaming of different components is necessary to see if there is a deviation from normal. Essentially one has to be a mechanical pathologist.
Another common problem is the female plug ends to different components deteriorate and are broken. The problem here is the visual inspection without unplugging them they appear to be okay. I've had to replace MAF sensor plug ends and also the coil to spark plug plug ends. Should one of these plugs be bad it can cause similar problems that are described.
Female plug ends= conecteur femelle

Please post a photo of your repair.
Hopefully you soldered each wire tail or removed each pin and installed on a new connector.

Hopefully you got the pin order correct. Did the problem occur immediately after you fixed the connector? Inspect the other MAF connector as well.

If you replaced both, or if you just replaced Bank 1. The bank 1 MAF only uses a 4 wire config. Bank 2 is a 5 wire. 1j0973775A is a five wire, so you can use it on Bank 1, just clip the 5th lead. The mistake that can be made is clipping the wrong end wire on 1j0973775A.
Here is a pic of the old connectors. Bank 2 on the top; bank 1 on the bottom. The other advantage to using 1j0973775A is it is a better female connector design. The old ones used on early Bentleys had FM pins that would fatigue over time and cause dropouts....the hardest thing to diagnose.
This is the newer VAG MAF connector:

Oh had a bit of a scare earlier, went out to my brothers for lunch its a bit hot today 31*c well its hot for us, he lives in the country so gave the car a bit of throttle if you know what I mean, put the brakes on & the peddle went to the floor, luckily I shifted the gear into manual & paddle shifted the gears down then pumped the peddle got it back ... Owch ... cooled the car over lunch & all ok back home, time for a brake fluid change ...

Look at flexible lines going to the calipers. These are recommended to be changed periodically by the factory service schedule. If they are bloating, or one has cracked? Check please!
