To be fair I used to get something similar from my 1.4 which didn't have ACT. Trip computer was also super-optimistic so although it would read 55-56mpg on a long run, when you measured it it was only just over 50mpg in reality.
1.4 ACT - rattle/vibration as engine switches to 2 cylinder
- Thread starter Seat2016
- Start date
UPDATE - Turned out to be the Actuator rattling, Not the linkage but the rod inside the actuator. Must be a build quality issue. Audi replaced the whole turbo which has cured the issue. Whisper quiet now 
Only way I know is via the dash read out.

My car went back 3 times to the dealer before they did anythiing, I did however provide them with a usb drive full of videos of the issue, I even mounted my Go Pro under the hood and recorded the issue.
The Problem is poor build quality within the actuator, wont cause an issue but really annoying.

I was told it was normal, depends if you can put up with it. Some cars do it, some cars dont. I have had the actuator replaced and now the engine is quiet in 2 cyclinder mode. I now only know via the dash read out. like I said, its a build quality issue.
We got another leon with act and no noise. Same mileage.mine badly rattle and the service proper ****.
I will send a complaint letter to seat today attached first time they told door will adjusted and more jobs after 2 days car come back with out any repair.
I got tracker details which show they didnt drive or tried to find the power loss issue.
Second dealer i find out they useless and dont give thing about the car.
2 alloys peeling they said will be replaced after on phone advised warranty just for 6month for alloys and personally manager said both was refurbished so no warranty...
Another nice advice i need to go back to finance company to complain but this idiots don’t understand some people buy cars for cash as i do not all cars on finance or lease.
