Usually drivable, but get it diagnosed without delay.
First step
A typical diagnostic sequence used by mechanics, provided here for educational reference only. Diagnostic work should be performed by a qualified mechanic with the appropriate tools and training. 1. Identify which manufacturer's interpretation applies to your specific model, the diagnostic approach varies by make 2. On most makes: visual inspect MAF sensor, try cleaning with proper MAF cleaner (£6) 3. Check the air intake from filter to throttle body for leaks or loose clamps 4. Read live data on MAF airflow and oxygen sensor signals 5. On VAG: focus on the front oxygen sensor heater circuit instead, similar to P0135 diagnosis 6. Compare MAF readings to manufacturer's expected values at idle and under load
