Default Where can I get VW / Bosch wideband lambda sensor cheap?

I am currently building a tech edge wideband air fuel meter kit for my car and I need a Bosch wideband lambda sensor for my car which is fitted as standard to a 2000 onwards 1.8 golf GTI. Ive been to my local parts place and they want over £100 for one (need to get it shipped from Germany special). Tried 1stVWParts in the US which do the same sensor for £20! but shipping / tax will bring the total to nearly £80

Anyone got any other ideas?, Im going to VW maindealer tomorrow but I guess they will be expensive . Any other places I can try in the UK?. The part I need is :-

Bosch part no = 0 258 007 057 Bosch LSU4 sensor

VW part no = 021-906-262-B

Any advice welcomed!

Cheers,

Stu

Cheers for the links lads, had a look on http://www.lambdasensor.com/index.htm but they only list the (Im lead to believe the more expensive) 0258006066 sensor. I will email them anyway and see if they do the other one

foreigneRS, what do you think of your tech edge kit?, did you have any problems with it? (mine has not actually arrived in the post yet!).

Cheers,

Stu
