TT 3.2 Coupe; battery died, AGAIN! (after replacing battery)
Last February, with about 16k miles on the car, I parked my car at the airport LT parking for about 6 days to come back and find the battery dead as a door nail.
Took the car to the dealer they replaced the battery under warranty, end of story, right?
Well, today I get back from a 2.5 day trip to find the battery dead again. The car has 24k miles on it.
Both occasions, nothing was left on in the car (what I thought at first). It just seems like something is wrong that is draining the battery in a very short time frame. My car is completely stock from an electronic standpoint.
Anyone else have this problem with the 3.2 TTs?
Any suggestions what it might be?

Do you have access to a multi-meter?
Make sure you have your radio code.
Pull the positive cable off the battery. Make sure everything is off in the car. Put the multi-meter between the battery and the cable. See how many amps are being drawn, this may give a clue to whether or not you have a short that is creating a large draw.

for me it was an intermittent brake sensor that would activate even w/ the ignition off
Battery replaced, brake sensor replaced. I also had acceleration drops while driving though, but when it killed the battery there was no indication of that - overnight it happened.
