Alternator draining battery?

Post by smilie121 »

I sold my b5.5 but the guy needs some help.

He claimed all the lights lit up and dimmed and now it wont start. I jumped it off my passat and it drove 30 odd minutes with no problem. In the morning its flat and required a jump again.

My thoughts were alternator. Car just done 148k. I thinknit had a new battery around Jan 2018
