Strange one that. It shouldn't be idling at 1500rpm (about 800rpm) and you're saying that when you lift the pedal up, the revs go up to 3500rpm and try to pull the car if in gear?

Hopefully someone can help here but i'd check the clutch position sensor perhaps?

Crank sensor breaking down?

Air mass meter compensating for something?

Try and find a member with vagcom local to you and get the car checked for faults. You can also do a throttle body reset which might sort it.

What idling speed do you get once warmed up?

isnt there some sort of anti-stall on the leon? i remember driving in snow one year and having to try and set off using just the engine tick over as using any throttle at all would have the wheels spinning. the engine seemed to blip itself over and over until i dipped the clutch back in or hit the gas. i had a green open cone and 007p at the time so all you could hear at 2am in a quite street was vroom-tsh-vroom-tsh, was mad

I had a problem on my astra coupe and did the same thing. In the end it was a faulty MAF. Try unplugging it and see it acts normal.
