Car sputters and won't go past 2000 rpm even with the pedal floored. Doesn't right itself even after letting it idle for a while. Temp has been -40C for a few days.
Minus 40? Well is the water coolant frozen? Surprised its starting at that temperature. The oil would be thicker when cold. Modern cars are more trouble than older

Air mass sensor, almost never shows codes but always makes the vehicle loose power !! cheaper from vw than pattern and more reliable
SOURCE: The clutch pedal on my passat stayed close to floor
sounds like a problem with the hydraulic clutch, either the master or slave cylinder was bypassing fluid and causing the low pedal.
SOURCE: Car starts fine..Idle is fast...stalls after car warms up
Check for vacuum leaks. Also try cleaning the ISV.
If that doesnt work go to vwvortex.com and post your issue there

replace your fuel filter first. If that does not do it, then try an air-flow meter. (if the check engine light is on it may be an airflow meter.

hi from uk this light is the tyre pressure monitoring system it is telling you that one or more tyres pressures are under inflation so! if you have not checked them weekly ? for your own safety you should may i suggest you check and inflate to correct pressure of all tyres inc spare ! obviously if one tyre is very low ? keep an eye on it? in case it has a slow leak/puncture ? ps the horse shoe is a low pressure tyre symbol ? best wishes from uk and merry xmas !
