Known issues on the 2001 Leon. The two 1.8L engines in the 2001 Leon share displacement and a DOHC layout, yet the turbocharged version adds induction hardware the naturally aspirated one lacks. This manual gives diagnostics and specifications for both, together with fuel system and ignition procedures. The Sport trim's suspension and brakes have torque values, and wiring diagrams cover the electrical system and body of the four-door hatchback.
