OK, what other info do you have.

Alright lads I've owned my Leon for a week now

Since no one has replied - I don't have that exact car, but I can try and help?

Is it a manual/auto?
Where did you buy it from? Can you not take it back for it to be looked at? or was it a private sale? (if a dealer, even small but registered trade name, you have 6 months of consumer rights for the vehicle to be a satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. )

What kind of buzz is it?

Here are things you can try.

- Pull the windows down and engage the third gear whilst you are stationary, to confirm it's definitely going from third to upper or lower gear. and shift to all gear whilst stationary and see if you hear it.

- If it's downing it just in that particular gear, might suggest it's the gearbox. Maybe something simple but depends, a gearbox guy would know more.

let me know what you find. Good luck.
