2007 Throttle Position Sensor

[deesun]

Hi guys. I have been quoted about 1k for a replacement TPS on a 2007 Focus 2.0 petrol. Not from a dealer but another well known place. I have never doubted the place I go to previous but can someone tell me it would be about that price from these places and dealers. I will look for other quotes but I am just after a guide. Whats involved, cost of TPS and please don't say u can buy one from ebay/China for 50$ and no I cant fit it myself. Thanks

Shouldn't be too hard per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyx-lzAPjjc and even an OEM Ford TPS from the dealer should be less than $100.

I will be bitterly disappointed if that's the case. Thank you for your help.

Genuine Ford part number 4F9U 9E928 AC. Should be around $180 from Ford dealer.

Even the whole throttle body is around $350, so not sure where the $1000 comes from?

Should only be about 1 hour labour at a guess.

Where about are you located, if in Sydney, can help refer a good place to go?

Thanks GTLEGEND. I wonder if I should ring our local dealer. Gold Coast.
Second quote 700$, another well known, mobile this time. Being as it looks likely we are divesting ourselves of the car it probably wont get done but it is interesting. I might try getting some local quotes through auto guru as I have just done quotes through them for shocks on my XR6T. Big gaps in them too form 1300 down to 860 all supposedly using OEM shocks. I am always wary of the cheapest quote when it is so much lower.
Over the last 6-7 years I have had servicing done mainly at a place of convenience. I probably knew there were cheaper places but all in all I was happy with what I was getting. I have rethought that recently and my daughter moved so now looking for convenient for her car and that has bought me to be looking around more.
