Bosch is pretty standard for O.E. replacement O2 sensors.

The TPS sensor is probably going to be a BWD part

Check out partsamerica.com

That stuff is a piece of cake, after you replace them your light may not shut off on its own. Just take your truck your local advance auto and have them delete the code.

What year? They are about $100 each.

its like an 02-03 or somethin its my boss's wifes....we tried ebay ones they dont last , theres alot of touchy cars that you cant put cheap stuff on unless you want repeated failures..... call volvo and ask them what they charge, im just trying to make a point, i get lots of people like this who tell me oh its only 50 in parts, well do it your self and ill fix it the right way when your done....lol... lots of people think they can fix thier car, maybe 20-30 percent might actually be able to do it some what correctly..... if you think you got over charged go to a cheap one person shop wholl have your car a few days, but hey ya saved 50 bucks right.... i can charge the 85-90 an hour because im not a hack/ backyard mechanic/ wanna be mechanic.... ive been doing this for well over 13-14 yrs, the better you are the more you charge, dont undercut yourself, people do have money but then theres people like you wholl shop around and find coupons for a free oil change/ inspection what ever and waste peoples time.... and then go and bad mouth shops for no reason.....

I can do most everything myself, unless it is major engine problems, then I have my dad take care of it, who happens to run his own Midas shop. He gives me free oil changes and a shit ton of other stuff free.

I did have to pay to for my wifes gas tank a while ago. He did put it on for free, but I was there helping him the whole time.

I used to work there a long time, but got out of the field after watching how the company keeps screwing him year after year.

The OP hasn't answered if those prices are installed, or just for the part. Installed, it seems pretty fair.

do you expect him to stay in business or troll around ebay all day?
