Check to see if there is a CD changer in the boot area. If there is one, unplug it as these quite often cause battery drain on VW's.

If there isn't one there, then it's not that

CD changer? I wish, I've got an old mp3 player and a tape adapter

Just double check because lots of people just don't realise that they are there.

Can't remember exactly but think it would be behind side carpet on passenger side

Also forgot to say to check that the boot area light isn't staying on.

Best way is to fold rear seat forward when boot is closed

Alternator and battery live under the bonnet(front)…...boot is at the other end of the wheeled box(back)


Depends if he checked for current drain

I still think my advice was the best.

He said he did that

Then it sounds like someone is stealing your sparks while you sleep

 

[Glos Blue]

Could be the alternator

They've got that sign in the place I get my tyres. There's an extra line that says "you watched a YouTube video & thought it looked easy".

 

[JAMIECCFC]

Alternator gone by the sounds of it or if you are extremely lucky but I doubt it the belt is fucked

You have a cassette player? How old is this motor?

Oh, and if it ran ok when the new battery was fitted and then ran out, it’ll be the alternator. It’s always the alternator.

I forget the year without looking tbh, she's nice though, when she goes that is

 

[Goslow]

He said he did that

Would you like to buy some magic beans?

 

[TH63]

Could be the alternator
