Sprocket set

I have just recently bought a 2004 SEAT Ibiza 1.2. The oil warning light came on after driving for approx. 20 mins and intermittently thereafter. I have taken it back to the garage and the pressure switch has been changed but the warning light was still flashing. Can you please advise?

Could be a failing oil pump. Give the dealer the opportunity to either
repair the car or give you your money back and if he refuses take the matter to the small claims track at the county court. These engines, in Ibizas, Polos and Fabias are also prone to stretch their timing chains, hop a cog and run roughly.
