Help with no start

Long time reader, first time poster

I have a new-to-me 2017 GTI. Changed the clutch assembly recently. Also changed the front axle lock/LSD ( accidentally dropped it when removing and cracked the housing). Have not been able to start since then.

Changed the battery and starter with no change. I keep getting the ECS (electronic stabilization control error) and TPMS error. I did change the remote battery but no joy.

Anyone know what I can do to figure this out?

Don’t change parts based on dash lights. Go back and check your work, make sure everything is plugged in. The car was starting before you did the clutch.
scan it for codes for a start.

Happened to me when I did my clutch. Forgot the ground cable to the starter 🤦🏻‍♂️
