Most of the OEM belts are made by Contitech, but Dayco and FEBI are decent brands too Have a look on Autodoc

Have you put a scanner on it? My bet would be the crankshaft sensor, utter b@stard to change

I've pinned this as I feel it will help a lot of GTI owner's out

That is GENIUS! And probably better than the OE part!

It only came with the linkage from VW, part number 6E0 941 299, however, this has been obsolete since 2021

The old one should come out if you bend the pushed-down tabs back up. When you install the new one, push the tabs down to lock it in place

You'll need the radio removal keys to get that out, they vary from brand to brand. If you can't find any, sometimes an old credit card cut into strips is enough to push down the side of the radio and release the clips that hold it into the frame. It looks like the silver edge part around the radio will pull off and show where the keys slide to release it. The interior light needs a flat blade screwdriver pushed in as shown below: Its held in with a spring tab. When you have the lamp out, there is a small 'door' on the back that unclips, allowing access to the bulb. The bulb is a 10w 265 festoon.

The lower ball joints are sided for left and right, so maybe you have 2 for the left hand side or 2 for the right hand side fitted?

Is your Lupo an FSI or a TDI? The FSI has a steel subframe, it's only the TDI that uses the Aluminium subframe, although on both the FSI and the TDI 3L have the lower ball joints as part of the wishbone. I don't have the measurements to see if a normal Lupo wishbone and a lower ball joint are the same size and distance from the subframe to the hub, but it may well be worth measuring yours and comparing to a normal Lupo to see if that's a work-around?

Apologies, didn't download the video! I'd say the radio is faulty in this case then. Might be worth testing in another vehicle if you can, but as it comes, it should work with no mods to the existing wiring loom. Only thing you would need to do is input the security code, but seeing as it doesn't even turn on, you can't do that!

Stupid question, but have you pushed the volume knob in to turn the unit on?
