Why was the car not taken back to where the service was done? Obviously not seen the car but it would appear that the oil issue is probably a cross threaded filter or something similar that was done as part of the service? Why would a sensor need replacing for an oil leak?

Does not appear to be the dealers fault, the service fuckup (if it is one) there is no longer any evidence of workmanship issues; basically I see you having no recourse anywhere.........

Yep, there looks to be double counting on the labour there. That's not surprising, these things are standard pick list items from dealer or proprietary service software these days, with the computer unable to link all the possible variations of jobs together to identify where one job overlaps with another.

Oil pressure switch is a common fault on these. Oil passes through where the terminal is. 15 quid for a switch and 3 minutes to fit it. Pull your trousers back up and tell them to drokk off

There is an update on this guys..

Thanks for the help and some advices.

Phoned up warranty assist and argued over the phone for ages about wasting time and asking soo much for simple works. They did refund the diagnostic cost as they didn't find any fault previously and the second time we didn't want to go through their garages as it was expensive.

Now went to the local garage, he fitted the oil switch and all the things that were already diagnosed for £20 labour and around £25 parts.

(Less then £50 and that garage was walking £360). Just goes to show that if my sister didn't know about this jobby, they would have mugged her off and she wouldn't had a clue and paid that much...
