See what you have make and model. Do you have a gauge or just a battery light? Alternator could be bad. Could a simple wire fix. 20 cents compared to 300+ dollar alternator.

I have a 2003 caravelle tdi 2.5, the battery is running down too quick if it stands for a day it needs to be jump started.

First do not assume anything. How old is the battery? Of it is more than 7 years old, it probably needs replaced. It all depends on the cycle of charging of the battery. Short trips cause the battery to be in a less than ideal state of charge. The longer a battery stays in this state the more the plates become sulfate which means less life. A full charged battery should last for 10 years by this is rare. The charging system must be ebaluated to see if the alternator is keeping the battery at full charge. If only short trips and no road trips are being taken, them a battery charger/maintainer is needed. Voltage to batter from alternator should be 13.6v up to 14.3 depending on the load. If a auto battery becomes completely dead because of a constant discharge, it looses half its life every time it happens.

2004 2.2 Olds Alero starter will not start unless I jump the solenoid

My daughter had an alero and frequently it had issues with the security features and had to follow the reset procedure to get it to start. I cannot remenber the reset procedure but it is available online in a lot of places, as so many people have had issues with that car. Something to the effect of putting it in neutral and turning the key to the on position but not try to start it, leave it there for 10 minutes or something and then the car will start. The security lamp would go out. I just rememembered after typing all of that, that the security lamp in the dash display would light or flash when that was the issue. My daughter solved all fo her alero problems. She bought a Mazda 3 , You didnt buy that from Off lease.com during the past year or so did you? Maybe her old car???

Vw Passat 1998 B5 - Fail on display

The fail just tells you there is a fault and you need to find out what is causing it. In your case it is the airbag. It's over 10 years old and I'm afraid that's about the limit on an airbag. Sometimes disconnectong and reconnecting the airbag will fix it but don't hold your breath

2002 s-10 have to hold gas pedal all way down to start when it does start sounds like old modle a john deer let of gas moter dies

sounds lie your pressure is ok, but I am curious about the Volume. When was the last time you changed your Fuel Filter? If it is a flex fuel vehicle, and you use a standard gauge on fuel pressure, it will read a bit high.
Second, How old is your battery? Mine did the same thing over the winter, and I found out that my 2000 S-10 only had one replacement battery 4 years ago. It didnt have the Cranking Amps it needed , resulting in hard starts, and low voltage to the Spark Plugs, which made it run rough.

99 volkswagen passat starts, then stalls, won't keep idle

I am having a similar problem on a 2003 Volkswagon Passat 1.8L 4 cylinder manual engine. My batter (after 10 years of service) died about a month ago. When the engine is cold and I start it up the engine (if I do not carefully add gas to rev the engine) will idle at around 200 to 400 RPM and then stall. The problem does not occur after the engine has been going for more than about 90 seconds. No check engine light is on. Ideas anyone?
