Hi
I hope someone can help. My father-in-law has a 3 1/2 year old VW Passat 4-motion 2.8l v6. Every time he doesn't use the car for more than 4 days the battery goes totally flat - not even enough charge to flash the alarm light. Its been into 2 garages who have both practically taken the car to pieces and both say there's nothing wrong with the car.
Has anyone else heard of this and if so, any solutions? He's got a trip booked for 3 weeks in the New Year and is very worried about leaving it in a long-stay car park if the battery's going to be dead flat on his return.
Thanks
Rachel
