Sounds like the level sensor in the coolant expansion tank. It can be fixed relatively easily by carefully scraping the scale off the 2 metal prongs inside the tank with a flat blade screwdriver. Alternatively, you can replace the expansion tank - the sensor is part of the tank. The tank is fairly cheap, I paid less than £10 and relatively quick & easy to replace.

It's a fairly common problem

Here's one of the many threads about it >>> http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=117342&highlight=coolant+level

hello mate. this thread is for info only we are not supposed to post on it.

best idea is to try the search button in the leon section... failing that stick a thread up in the leon section.

happy prong scraping (bear in mind the sensor is alerting you to low coolant so check your levels before blaming the sensor getting furred up.)
