Default MAP sensor - allroad

Hi, I'm looking an an '01 allroad and the inspection on the car showed a MAP sensor fault code, which was cleared, but I understand it could just come back again.

Is this a major thing to be concerned about for a used car purchase or just a minor thing that needs to be dealt with?

Any replies appreciated

Default You're right...

It came from the dealer's inspection report, obviously they looked up the wrong DTC, P1296 is MAP sensor on a Chrysler!

It is cooling system malfunction on VW/Audi, doesn't sound like more than a thermostat or coolant temp sensor.

Default seems like a odd error anyway, i'd do some searching across all vw/audis

to see what causes that code. bad temp senders cause different codes in my experience.
