There are no warning lights whatsoever. sorry for all the questions but my local VW dealer has proved to be a bit clueless money a few times I lost my confidence in them.
No offence to your mechanic as he is probably great, but you really need the scanner and some knowledge of these cars.
I never have warning lights for anything maf or o2 sensor related, that's where the scanner comes in
