Default A2 battery drain

If I don't drive my car for 2 days it won't start, . the battery is completely drained, all the doors lock and I can't get to the battery as it's in the boot, have to climb into the boot from the back through via drivers seat, to put the battery on charge, Had auto electrician out & he can't find a fault, it's been to a garage & checked and apparently there is a slight drain from the stereo but not enough to drain a battery!!
Anyone had the same fault or suggestions are welcome? It's a 1.4tdi se model and have done the obvious & have had a new battery installed - no difference

Did you check the alternator? If you're alternator is bad then you'll use juice without ever recharging the battery which could lower the overall charge enough to where the trickle drain from the car kills it.
