How much to fix 2006 bmw 325i p1017 issue

Question

My daughter is wanting to buy this car for $4200 but the diagnostics show p0128 and p1017. I know the cost to replace the thermostat but this valve sensor is worrying me. Not sure if it's worth it to buy. Any advice quickly would be much appreciated

Answer 1

P0128 MAP, Thermostat

P1017 VVT - Sensor Plausible

The thermostat is just it a straight forward repair, P1017 plausible mean it not actual, , this can be the VVT sensor itself, that or its reluctor, P1017 what happens is when the engine is cold it exhibits a misfire and may even set a code for a misfire condition, Condition can be from where the motor oil was change and not the oil filter , and where the oil filter broke in pieces. To the camshaft vanos bolt, so to call a price is a shot in the dark.
