Power loss and starting problems with VW Polo 1.4 TDI

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my VW Polo 1.4 TDI. The engine only starts after about 5 seconds and then runs smoothly, but the car has no power. In addition, the transmission is in emergency mode. No warning light is on. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this or how I can fix the problem? Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Check the mass airflow sensor (MAF) for dirt or damage, as it can affect engine performance and power. Clean it carefully if needed. Let us know if this resolves the issue or if you have further questions.

Maf is clean, no success. New error code P1441, P3101

The error code P1441 often relates to the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve, and P3101 can be associated with the intake manifold flap. Check if the EGR valve is stuck or clogged, as this can affect engine performance and power. Cleaning or replacing the EGR valve might be necessary. Please update us on your progress or if you have any further questions.
