£547.80 to swap a wheel speed sensor on a C43...
Genuinely how did they get to that figure?

Our local VW dealer quoted £1,193 plus VAT for two sensors on a cooking 2015 Golf. Given I bought two ATE sensors for about £45 and it took longer to get the wheels off than swap the sensors, VW are using the same calculator!
The mind boggles at some service bills knowing the little amount of labour it actually takes to do some of these jobs from start to finish and, for some reason particularly with wheel speed sensors, how much cheaper that identical part could have sourced for.For many Mercs If you buy a ATE wheel speed sensor it is absolutely identical to a genuine one. The only difference is that the ATE one has the merc part number and logo burned off. In the case of the S600 its a £150 odd difference per sensor
Probably the exact same situation with your golf.

The ATE parts were identical to the (presumed) original items removed. The pricing structure is hard to fathom, but I suppose not many 6 year old Golfs see a main dealer - this one only did because my code reader couldn’t identify the issue and Google wrongly suggested it could need a software update.For many Mercs If you buy a ATE wheel speed sensor it is absolutely identical to a genuine one.

king longer... Right.
This filthy pair turned up Tuesday evening.
If there is one thing my parents taught me, it was to never agree to purchase an old car from a fella living abroad sight unseen. Especially if he claims to be a Prince or King or a deceased President of France. Okay, to be fair there were a few in-depth videos by Quentin's (Wilson, not Tarantino) hairier cousin, but I have gone all-in, full monty, balls deep thread sanctioned buying technique. And some.
Previously, I have been Mr. Pedantic Investigative Researcher when it came to sourcing fleet, but after the last 6 months I have endured, life and time have become too precious to worry about silly things like where the hell will I park six cars, what idiot buys a V8 petrol when we have the highest fuel prices ever, how do I insure 5 cars at once without having to sell one of the kids and, most importantly, have I possibly been the victim of a very elaborate 12 year, 17,278 Pistonheads posts scam by Emmanuel Macron's historic predecessor?
I needed a V8 in my life, and now I have two, though only one is staying around. Unless the I do sell the kids.
Merci Monsieur le Président and all those threadists who offered their help to get the cars here. Vive la barge.
To be continued....
