Cost for oil service+sensor=ripped off?
Just looking for advice or comments really.
I have a 2011 325D which needed the oil sensor replacing - the iDrive constantly thought there was too much oil in it. Took to my local indy specialist today who are usually quite good cost wise but they've charged me £450!!! What strikes me is nearly £80 for oil? I reckon they've doubled the price of the oil level sensor (just by doing a quick search) but I'm thinking of going back and querying it all. They've run some diags as I asked them to but is this price justified? https://www.e90post.com/forums/album...ictureid=70586 |

I just looked the job up. while it's not as involved as the gasket job, it still looks like a PITA. the real wtf with your bill is the £11/L for oil!

I don't see anything wrong with the price of oil charged. Garage will charge retail price unlike us we shop online for cheapest deals.
I had some engine work done on my previous car Mk4 golf. Garage invoiced £60 for 5L of Castrol Edge. I was kicking myself as i had a spare bottle in the shed. I am guessing the 325D needs about 6L oil. If they did use Castrol Edge that retails £50 for 4L. Further 2x 1L botrtle cost £15 each https://www.halfords.com/motoring/en...q=castrol+5w30 |
