Default Oil Fill Sensor Replacement

I have an 2010 S4
Has anyone performed a removal and replacement of the Oil Fill Sensor?
If you have, would you recommend DIY? Or would you reccommend just bringing it into the dealer to replace?
If you brought it into the dealer, what was the estimated cost?

Haha, the warning on the dash is getting annoying.

It mounts on the bottom of the oil pan, has three screws and one cable connector. Should be pretty easy, though you will need to remove all the oil first. OEM Audi parts are under $100 online.

Knowing the stealerships they'd charge you $1000. Mine doesn't get out of bed in the morning for less than $1000.

It turns out that my Oil Fill Sensor was fine.
It was the hood latch. I brought the car in to make sure the Oil Sensor was the problem and get an estimate for the repair, and the Audi Dealer fixed it for free.
He said it was a common problem for the hood latch to short out and not send the signal back to the Oil Fill Sensor.
