Sure, once we know what year, make, model, engine etc. you are talking about. Since this fault code may be caused not just by the module it is stored in you should really provide some detailed information like an Auto-Scan from the vehicle in question covering part numbers and software versions of the participating control modules.

Apparently I wasn't clear enough on whats needed to answer your question...

VCDS > [Auto-Scan] > 1M - Seat Leon > [Start]

Once thats finished paste the results here.

no need to be rude mate. I don't have vag com, only a simple fault reader, just thought someone might of come across this. I'd admit I should have put the engine details in, however putting YES to an open question isnt very helpful now is it?

 

[Theresias]

Not being rude at all, just using the same details in my answer as you provided in the question. This is one of the cases where a simple code reader won't get you anywhere if you really want to look into things. For now and without more information my suggestion would be to ignore the code.

Sorry about bringing up an old thread but i've searched & searched but can't find more info.

I've had this fault on the car since I bought it 6months ago so don't know how long it's been there for.

I wouldnt worry about it. Mine did it once in a blue moon. never caused any problems.

as you can see from the posts from Theresias he was as much use as a plastic fireguard so never did know why. Doupt the clever so and so did either!
