Seat Leon Mk2 question
Discussion
Evening all,
We've bought an '09 facelift Seat Leon 140 Se tdi DSG thingy, picking the car up on Saturday.
The dealer allowed us to take a test drive on our own, which was nice. Whilst out we noticed the mpg wasn't being displayed on the dash, something which wifey likes. We had a play with the settings - the car has the media pack with bluetooth and sat-nav etc, so it seemed quite complicated.
We did find a list of options and placed a tick next to average mpg but still didn't get it on the display. I know we can ask the dealer when we pick it up, but we also know the staff always seem to know next to nowt about the cars they sell, so i thought i'd ask here.
Any Leon owners here? Can I have the average mpg on display? Wifey likes to see 50mpg showing when she gets home, something she can still do in our 10 year-old Bora. If I can get this display up and she can get home with more than 50mpg showing, it'll be brownie points for yours truly.

Don't know if this will be any help at all as I don't have sat nav, media pack or a facelift mkII 
I can cycle through mine using the button on the end of the window wiper stalk.
It'll have a symbol- small circle with a diagonal line through it if that helps.
Congrats on the car- I had one on loan (140 sport DSG) and it was bloody fantastic- thraped it everywhere and still managed to average 46mpg- the cupra if driven in the same manner would give about 19!

Ta ever so. I know the symbol you mean, and I did what i though would bring the mpg reading on the display but to no avail.I can cycle through mine using the button on the end of the window wiper stalk.

I'm just a tad worried that i can't keep the reading on the dispaly 'cos wifey will moan if it can't. I'm sure it can but i'd like to be able to put it on when we pick the car up, to save asking the staff and having to hang around while they try to find out.
Thanks for your comment on the car - the dealership had a Mk6 Golf of similar price, age and mileage though with much less kit. I *agonised* over the decision 'cos there is just no denying that the Golf is a classier, more refined car, and the Leons plastics aren't great, but overall I think it's a better package.
