Take it to the dealers if you are concerned and get it looked at.

So I have to wait till 20k before I start seeing figures in the range of 70 mpg when there's other mk3 owners who have done less miles than me and are hitting the figures now.

You won't be seeing 70 mpg after 20,000 miles, I have the ibiza with the 1.6 and as far as I know the 1.6 in the mk3 leon is the same engine with stop start, the newer ea288 1.6 is fitted to the ecomotive Leon which is 6 speed. Anyway, the reason I say this is because I'm on 63,000 miles at the moment and have seen no improvement in fuel economy from the day I picked it up with delivery miles on it. I have averaged 42 mpg which is mainly stop start I town and about 15% motorway, at 70 mph I struggle to get more than 50 mpg.

Also, I have tracked the last 46,000 miles using fuelly so these figures are accurate.

in a 2010 ibiza? its more likely that you have the mk2 leon 1.6tdi engine. And i used to get 50mpg from doing 70 in my FR so I think there is something wrong with your car.

Well a lot of fr owners are getting in the range of 60mpg but I think that's because of the 6th gear acts as an overdrive so it's more economical

I believe the mk2 leon 1.6 was carried over to the mk3 leon where as the ecomotive mk3 leon ecomotive uses the newer ea288 1.6 which is the same design as the 2.0 tdi fitted in the mk3 leon fr.

The best way to confirm if Ckpearce91 has the older 1.6 TDI CR is to check if you have a water cooled intercooler built into the intake manifold or is it an air cooled intercooler positioned below the radiator and ac condenser.
