My Leon was a 1.4 TSi 140 PS and your 1.6 TDi will have exactly the same sized brakes thus the same spare will fit. I bought a 15" steel wheel from MyTyres fitted with the cheapest non-directional 195/65 x 15 tyre they sold which was about £70 all in fitted and delivered to my door. The 195/55 15 is the standard size on poverty spec Leons.It fitted in the well in the boot with no issues but it raised the floor slightly, not an issue with a Leon estate since its has a huge boot, with my hatch it was a slight issue but with clever packing we coped.
Since it was a different size/material to the other 4 it was classes as a "temporary spare" thus you could only legally do 50 mph, no better than a space saver. But since it was the same overall diameter the car would not have taken on a list like it would with a space saver fitted plus there is not a max distance specified like there is with a space saver, normally 50 to 100 miles (which can be an issue if you are 300 miles from home in the north of Scotland on a Sunday with no tyre shops open).
The spare is still in our shed, unused and I keep intending to put it on e-bay, one day I will get around to it.
