How much should changing the crank sensor cost?

I arrived at your site when I was looking for information on crankshaft sensors. I have to have the crankshaft sensor replaced on my SEAT Leon TDI FR. The dealer said the gearbox will have to be removed and that the cost will be around £300. Is this correct and a reasonable cost?

Hi Colin,

We've checked with SEAT Ireland and it has been confirmed that it is indeed necessary to remove the gearbox for this job.

Given that, the price does not sound unreasonable at all.

Hope that's of help.
