For a mk5 gti the pre cat sensor costs around £140 so unless he charges an exorbitant labour rate it sounds too expensive to me.

Think it might be this one

that's the price he is quoting + £65hr labour + vat
He was shocked, said they are usually £80ish

Back when i had my mk4 1.6 I had to change one of the sensors and I'm sure it cost me £115 from my local parts shop!
