i would ask them for a detailed report on what diagnostics theyve done and what results they have got to diagnose this problem.
if they are unwilling or unable to provide this, tell them to fuck off.
it's quite possible that it's all above board, but more likely the apprentice is just replacing bits that MIGHT be wrong with it after plugging it into his machine and it telling them A FAULT EXISTS

Fiesta mk6's are prone to coilpack problems, if it feels like the car is producing half power then it will more than likley be this.
How many miles has the car got? as they can go as little as 20k, most last 60-65k. We had to change ours last month for the cost of 38quid.
if the ecu is fubbered then it will come up on the dash EAC FAIL (i think thats the code)
