As a first step I’d be doing a parasitic draw test as described here:

The problems that you’ll have are keeping the car ‘asleep’ while you carry out the test (which is why he latches all the doors etc) and also that there’s about a million fuses in a C6 chassis car!
You could also try disconnecting the battery and leaving it for a day or two just to make sure it’s not self discharging.

Re: battery discharges fast
Common causes of battery drains for A3 A4 are radios, for Skoda's it's door looms, for TDi s its convenience module. Not heard of any specifics for 6s. As already mentioned check drain current value at rest, if you want a comparison figure I can get you one off mine at the weekend if you still have the problem.
Re: battery discharges fast
Is it 'slow' to start?
If so it may be linked to an alternator that is slow charging.

Re: battery discharges fast
Sometimes it's the alternator itself that's responsible for the discharging. Not quite so easy to test for.
