Well, i had similar problem a while back and in one repairmen the part costed around 300€ and in the other half of it. Reason, the first repairmen was an authorized shop for the car so they only put original parts, the 2nd wasn't authorized so they could put a part of other brand that did the same thing and funny thing is that according to him they are made in the same factory but one has a brand and the other not.
In your case, i would ask for a 2nd opinion. In any other case, i wouldn't fix, but with the mandatory inspections, there is no work around if you want to keep using the car.

The person is a mechanic my brother uses and he will want to keep my brother's business as he is a bit of a car person. It wasn't a dealership, he looked for non-genuine.
