seat ibiza

Hi my son's partner has a seat ibiza.A warning light that looked like an engine came up.She left it into the main dealer and was charged �100 for repair.The light came on again.She left it in again and this time they said it was the compression was not right and the cylinder head needed renewal at a cost of �600.The car is going OK.Can anyone tell me if it is alright for her to continue driving and ignore the light.Answers appreciated----James

well,the light coming on does mean there is a problem,the ecu unit detects the car has something wrong and it alerts in this way,the light will come on,i would take it to another garage and get a second opinion,but to be on the safe side i would not drive it ,in case the engine,if that is the problem,causes any more damage.

if its running ok it probably just needs the throttle body cleaning, common on VWs
