Have you tried unplugging the MAF sensor and driving it?
Have you checked for any split turbo boost hoses? Mine split and it threw a MAF error.
There's also a TMAP sensor down in the turbo pipe... but I've not read of it causing your issues.

It's a shame I can't help more, because I have vida/dice sitting here and also an S80 I can't drive right now.

I have a Dice (clone I believe) unit purchased from cheshired5 and he sent a copy of Vida 2014D. That's the latest version usable without a subscription. It's usable and lots of interesting diagnostics in there.

You didn't mention what version of the diesel engine you have?

Out of curiosity, how much did your transmission re-build cost?
I'm seeing the error I made. I'll correct it but it was actually just a full transmission oil change. My god if it was a full rebuild I don't think I'd ever be prepeared so see such a bill.

2006 D5, on paper the 185HP one but as far as I remember one time at a different expensive mechanic he said it was the 205HP variant.

Yes it was a genuine MAF sensor for about £95 not one of those chinese parts. I never buy Chinese parts. Not worth it
