Don't, whatever you do, buy a used one!
New ones are not that much, certainly compared to the labour costs involved in replacing them.
Had mine done a while back and I think it was about £500 all in on a D2 S8. But that's Home Counties labour rates for you!
There are two types with different connectors so just make sure they order the right version in. Oddly I think the newer 10-pin version (which I needed) is a bit cheaper than the older 8-pin one.

Think I paid much less than 300 for mine from TPS.

Under £200 I'd say including VAT.

yeh I'm pretty sure I've had it done twice before at a cost of 330 ish I've only done 30,000 miles in my RS6 since owning it since 2008 these range switches must be pretty bad quality!!
