    Is there a fuse on the back of the radio. I have no idea if they have. Could be fused internally as well and may be cactus?

    pretty sure there will be 2 power wires, one always live the other off the bottom of the ignition switch. This is why I asked if it comes on with the keys out if you hit the on/off. I imagine it's the same as my GTI/S3/A4 and will run for an hour with no keys.

    You're right. There is a fuse at the back of the radio, but I'm not worried about that one.
    There is also 2 power wires... one live as you said and the other is earth.

    When I unplugged the radio for the first time, I had tested the live wire with a multi meter on voltage which came back with a result of 12+V.. which is fine..

    Then, I plugged the radio in to make sure it all works.. it did.. but then forgetting to turn the ignition off, I unplugged the radio to neat up some of the wires in the back... this is when the problem occured.

    Now, when I test the same wire which gave me a reading before of 12+V, it gives me a reading of 0V... which means something shorted out...

    problem solved.

    I unplugged the radio and traced the fuse to be F8 under the engine bay.
    Fuse looked okay, but replaced it, and it now works.

    Thank goodness it was just that.

    Are you referring to one at the battery?

    Yep. Fuse box next to the battery.

    I'm not sure why VW don't provide a fuse diagram for each vehicle.
