I have gone through 6 batteries in less than a year. The car can be jumped and if charged for about 5 hours will last about a week before the battery is dead again.
If the car is jumped, it will run off of the alternator until I hit my next designation - as soon as the car is turned off - the battery is dead again.
I have been two 3 volkswagon dealerships - the altnernator is good - noone can identify a problem - but there is definitely a problem.
I had a new stereo system put in and thought that something might have happen then - have had two audio companies do a diagnostic - and still nothing. The stereo and wiring have been completely taken out of the car - yet, I still have the same problem.
I am lost on what to do at this point. Does anyone out there know what is wrong with my car!
