It's the display (MFD) on the dash that shows if a door is open, the time, temp etc etc.

You may not have the 'chirp' siren fitted to the car. I'm not sure if all Leon's come with them however I've been researching into the MFD upgrade and on some Golf's a 'chirp siren' has also had to be added and connected into the Comfort Control Module.
If this is not the case I'm sure it can be turned on by the coding in VCDs under Central Convinience - Coding - Long Coding Helper. Select Siren Installed (un-tick Siren blocked) then select Locking confirmation with horn via remote.

Not sure if that will help....if you have someone with VCDS near to you (or go back to the garage again) and see if you have the following part when they carry out a Log check (to see any faults on the car). This is the part which gives the 'chirp' (I don't think it has changed since my 58 plate) so if you have it there is no reason why it can't be activated?

Not sure to be honest however I've heard that it might be in the space above the rear wheel arch? Someone with Etka can probably tell you where it should be.

I was looking at this the other day.
The chirping isn't enabled in the 'Adaptation' menu, however if you go into the Long Coding, you can enable it there. When I tried to do it through the adaptation menu, it said channel unavailable but worked fine when done through Long Coding.
I found loads of stuff that I didn't even know could be tried on my car, but it's mostly a case of fiddling about until something works.
Also, don't be surprised if it doesn't happen the first couple of times. I know that needle staging takes me at least 3 or 4 times of starting the ignition before it actually works

^^^^^The dash needles sweep round and back again when you turn the ignition on. Like a self test. Looks cool.

Go into the long coding helper, and use the up and down arrow keys to go through the codes. You'll eventually come to one of them where you can tick the boxes to enable them, and it changes the code for you. All you have to do is click apply.
It says something like 'Enable beep confirmation on lock' and 'Enable beep confirmation on unlock'
I don't have any idea of the long code, because I used the helper myself and didn't take much notice

ahhh no bother
I'm going to do it on my car. The massive irony of having needle staging (common on super/sports cars) on a 1.6TDI
