Bought new from a franchised dealer and extended as part of a service plan and breakdown recovery plan. Thanks

On that basis I'd expect it to cover a failed clutch master cylinder, assuming that is indeed the problem.

I think the first thing needed is a visit to the dealer to get the fault diagnosed.

Quite a few hits on Google for Leons with sticky clutch pedals.

Having owned a Leon and had an extended warranty I can confirm that Seat warranties bought for cars when new cover far more than warranties bought later. If bought when new the warranty provides exactly the same cover as the original manufacturers warranty, the warranty bought later has a longish list of exclusions. There is no excess to pay on a warranty bought for a new vehicle, form memory it was £200 a claim on the warranty bought later.

Never found out how good the warranty was, the car was fault free.

The engine specification is a 1.2 TSI -110 PS

That's good news if you have to fix the issue at your expense - the smaller cc tsi manual versions have an external slave cylinder. This has an integral release valve (protects gearbox etc if you release the clutch very abruptly ) which can fail especially if clutch fluid has never been replaced. Fortunately replacing slave cylinder usually sorts this and because the slave is external it's a simpler / cheapish job. Ie do this first - well after trying to get the dealer to sort it free!

I had something similar happen - apparently the fluid that came out of the clutch looked horrendous. I now always ask for the clutch fluid to be replaced at the same time as the brake fluid (same reservoir on VAG cars).
