Just an update in case anyone has the same problems. The fault was fixed with a new MAF sensor, but the old one could be resurrected too.
Just for fun I disassembled the old sensor to see whats inside.
A spider had made its home in the old one and some of the crud on the plate was too stubborn to get off with "maf cleaner" alone. So I mechanically cleaned it the best I could with isopropanol alcohol and q-tips and rags and it started working fine again! I tried it for a few weeks without any problems. So now I have a spare
Heres what the insides looked like:
I think the crud and dirt caused some issues at low airflow in the cold.
