Its one of those standard fit Leon ‘extras’.

they squeak cause they are fashioned and used to going forward with use, reversing for a mile or so will stop it if you feel it is too annoying to put up with!

as said search for this problem.. very common.

and there is a fix which u can have done under warranty! :yes:

i think its part of an ibiza hand brake bracket which can be used to modify the Leon one and somehow it fixes the braking squal! (it worked on my car!)

u should find the part numbers and everything in ur search!
