Spilchy- Yeah, as eShine said, it was probably just a bled-down lifter. Some VWs and Audis bleed down sorta quick, but they pump back up with no harm done. Some of the older 5-cylinder ones could bleed down in a few *hours* if you parked them on the right incline.

But as Bill D said, you might want to look into why the battery died after only four days...
