Judgement: Sensor needs to be replaced

approx 9000 swedish crows, which equals roughly 1000 USD.

For the part, the labour and trouble shooting.

They will do the work in one week since the part needs to be shipped from Germany.

Sounds fair?

Wow. That is crazy expensive.

The part is only $130. Add in $120 for an hour of labor for the diagnosis and the total cost should be around $250.

I'd replace it myself - there is only one bolt and an electrical connector. Cost $0.

Even if you had a shop replace it, add another hour of labor and the total cost would be under $400.

For another $655, you could fly me from LA to Stockholm to replace it for you and you'd only be paying $55 more.

The thing is that I'm getting married next saturday and would love to have the Box as the getaway car afterwards.

The part arrives from Germany on Thursday and I got a time on Friday. Then I need to make a reinspection immediately since it has already been 1 month since the original inspection, otherwise it will not be street legal.

So all combined i feel kind of forced to pay up and shut up, in order to make her dressed for the wedding so to speak.

I did try to search for any grounding issues before taking it to PC, and thereby realize how silly easy it is to replace the sensor itself with easy access from the inspection hatch since it is on bank 1.

Price seems a bit high as the sensor is easily accessed and the part retails for less than $100 (US):
