Just in case...

anyone is amused by the whole car drama... after jump starting the Jetta for a second time yesterday it refused to start again last night!!!! Apparently it needs a new battery (even though the one in there is no more than 2 years old) Mike is headed out there now to jump start it for the 3rd time in 3 days and then off to Auto Zone to get a new battery. This is the last and final straw for the poor Jetta. Considering we have spent $500 in repairs, registration and inspections in the past 3 months if this doesn't do the trick the Jetta will be someone else's problem and we will be poorer than ever with a car payment!

check the alternator! I had this problem with my sentra several years back. 3 alternators and a battery later our mechanic (who we hadn't brought the car to yet) said the battery tests low when it's a problem of a bad alternator causing the battery to go bad early. It would randomly not start and cause the check engine light to go on. fun fun! Good luck!
