Plug it in and see if there are any fault codes.
MAF would be a good place to start as well as coolant temp sender and as susal with VW Diesels, the good old brake light switch.

Yeah would second the MAF sensor. You will probably have to reset it after you have replaced or cleaned it. If you haven't got a fault reader then you can clear it by disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes.
