Sometimes they need re coding to the vehicle i believe.Never had the problem with a Leon but have previously with a Golf.Had to get the dealer to recode the key to the vehicle.

Your manual tells you how to re-synchronise your keyfob. Not the same as reprogramming it, but it might help cure this problem.

Also, do your electric windows and mirrors still work? If not, a fuse has blown as they all share the same one :)
