There are many sender units do you have the part number from the invoice? If so I can give you a better estimate of if they charged you a fair price for the part and labour.

My Cayman had an intermittant fault on the engine temp sender. When I had my car serviced at an independant Porsche specialist they charged me £10.86 for the sender and £20 for fitting it as they said it was easy to do whilst they had the covers off underneath. (+Vat) I was very happy with this and it's been perfect ever since. Martin

Thanks .Sounds more expensive to remove covers than replace sender .Has anybody else had this job done?

Part prices for the above should be less than 25 pounds.
