Maybe i'll just have to wait for the summer. I read earlier about resetting your ecu. Is this somthing you can do yourself. (dissconecting the battery for a while or something)
I think I have the same small intercooler leak as you. Noticed it when Gez from here was putting my new dog-bone on. I could see shiney oil around the large diameter hose thats low down on drivers side.
Yes you can reset the ecu by disconnecting the battery for 30-45mins.

My little old Beeza 90bhp does 140miles per day, from Aylesbury to Coventry and back again. It's all straight roads, A41, M40, A46 so I keep the speed to a constant 56mph, yep even on the motorway!!!!!
I continually get around 770 miles to a tank.

Right
Here is what you do
- Fill up car to brim and reset trip
- Empty tank through usage
- Then fill up again making a not of mileage, distance travelled on that tank and number of litres used
- Then do the calculation below
Number of litres used divided by 4.54 (litres to a gallon) which gives you number of gallons
Then take the total distance travelled and divide that by the number of gallons.
Voila gives you MPG

I do believe the Leon holds 55 Litres.
Convert it to gallons http://www.onlineconversion.com/volume.htm
55 Litre = 12.098 308 656 445 gallon [UK]
So say you do 400 Miles to a full tank.
400 (total miles) / 12.1 (full tank in gallons) = Miles Per Gallon.
= 33MPG.
It looks like I will get around 480 miles to a full tank for me, so 480/12.1 = 39.6MPG.

Just going back to the intercooler leak.
As far as I knew it, its normal.
A mate of mine works on mercs and reckons mine is nothing in comparison to what he sees on sprinters. Mine does it from the intercooler out connection and there is nothing that I have tried will stop it!( new seal new pipe)
Its only a small amount anyway

To make the MPG working out even easier......
Write down the miles you did since last fill, and how many litres you put in the car.
Next time you log on, use this: http://www.guycroft.clara.net/utils/mpg.html
Compare it to your trip computer and see if its close.

I get around 500 miles normally in day to day driving from my Ibiza Cupra, but that's a mix of a road blasts and in town depending where I am. Doesn't help that most of my driving's done at rush hour though.

After reading all the mixed results on MPG, i might go for the Cupra R instead of the Cupra TDI
My A3 TDI gets around 500 miles, and when im a bit carefull it will get over 600 to a tank at 55ltrs it is also completely standard and runs on shell v-power (company fuel card lol)
