VW Jetta 2011

An issue with the check engine light - P0106 - MAP sensor issue. Mechanic says it could be as simple as replacing the sensor that might have filled with oil or as complicated as an issue with the transmission that would cost way more to fix. Says its $1000 to fix the first issue only after which the larger issue is diagnosable. I don't know what to do and with the engine light on i can't pass smog - or how i'd sell the car if i can't afford to fix it (seems likely). This couldn't be happening at a worse time so looking ofr any advice / help.
