I’d cut your losses and move on. It can be hard to give up but I have a lesser problem with an “engine system service required” fault that I’ve had a full diagnostic on, a smoke test, replaced the sensor on the intercooler as diagnosed...which didn’t work; replaced the sensor on the inlet which didn’t work, and as mine is just a warning with no loss of power, I’ll live with it as my car is at 200,000 miles and worth nothing despite otherwise running faultlessly and being reliable with good body work and interior.
I guess it’s easy for me to say as I’ve only spent about £250 and a few hours of my own time on it but you can end up throwing parts, money and time chasing elusive fixes.
