Mass air flow sensors are not uncommon to fail on these and many other vehicles these days, it will be a bosch unit, but i don't usually have those codes stored on a vauxhall unless i have unplugged it on purpose while it is running to check on intermitent lack of power, What else have you been told, as vauxhalls don't suffer very many wiring problems unless some idiot has been playing around with it, post back with some history.
