Well if its still not turning on I don't think that's the alternator. Trying jumping it for a while I had a buddy with a Jetta and we had to leave it hooked up for a while to get the **** to start. Other then that I really dont know.

nope probably a bad cell in the battery. I went through 2 batteries the first year I had my car (bought it brand new). Make sure that when you turn your car off (after you get it started) you unplug anything you have in your power outlets.... I used to keep my cell phone charger plugged in and I really think that was draining it. After I remembered to unplug it the problems stopped.

Have you had any issues with your stereo head unit? That was my prob; tech found it was just running by itself at times-drained the battery. They replaced it.
