I'm sure there are diagnostics that the dealer and possibly other independent shops can run to determine if the MAF is in spec. Some symptoms that occured on my 1.8t (before the Check Engine light came on and MAF code stored) were: Stalling on first start when cold (outside temperature below 50F / 10C, significant lack of power when driving when the engine was cold, and unstable idle when the engine was cold. From what I've been told, these are typical symptoms for a bad Mass Air Flow sensor in a 2001 Jetta 1.8t. There is a campaign covering mass air flow sensors, but I'm not sure if it applies to the VR6 model. In addition, the VR6 MAF sensor may be different from that of the 1.8t and hence may have different symptoms. Good luck.

How do you replace the coolant temperature sensor in a 2000 VW jetta?

Coolant Temp sensor on the 1.8T engine is located on the driver side of the block. Following the radiator hose coming from the radiator, your see a plastic housing that splits the flow of water on the side of the block, on top of that black plastic piping is a sensor with a black flat plastic clip. Once you see it, you'll know, its the only sensor of its kind with that clip. Just make sure the car is off and cool.
