Default PROBLEM

So a while ago I left my car outside my house for a trip to Vegas. When i got back, 2 nights later, my car would not unlock or turn over. I jumped it, it worked fine, but still drove kinda funny. So this week i go on another trip for 3 days, get back, and the same **** happened. Car wont start, battery is just dead. Its only been a year and a half, and I shouldnt have to replace the battery yet. Anything I should check or has anyone had the same problems? TIA

Default When did you get the stereo installed? Something is "on" while your away.

They may have installed something to power, instead of switched power. Could be an amp or something running.

Check all the battery connections.

Also, VAG it to see if thre are any shorts to ground.

Default Just fixed a similar problem; the power seat controller was bad and drained the battery...

damaged the alternator over time too. All warranty all good though.
