Soooooo, my brother-in-law has an 01 Jetta 1.8T which has recently ran into some issues (which I assume is related to a dead/bad battery). One morning the car wouldn't start, so we boost it and all is well. Couple days later, same thing. Couple days later, again, needs a boost. Now, the car won't start with a boost unless the battery has been charged through a charger. So, I'm thinking the battery has just died...but is it possible that something is drawing power non-stop and causing this slow death? He recently had his stereo stolen, and against my insight, he went out and bought an aftermarket stereo and had FutureShop install it...could this be the REAL problem?
I think I will pick up a battery for him tonight, but if the stereo is the real issue, how can I check to be sure?
