Battery has to be jumped whenever left for 5 days. Had tested at 39K but VW service said was fine. Progressively got worse until had to be replaced at 45K as would no longer start in mornings. Report states faulty battery and replaced with stateline (cannot afford VW battery with all the repairs I'm having to do) at $182.
