Altea Horns

JayB · Oct 30, 2014

Anyone know where they are hidden and how to get to them?
I forgot to look while I had mine on the ramp recently and I assume there are two, mine only seems to have one working as it sounds like a car from the circus or something!
Hopefully is just a loose wire.

My Altea only had a high tone horn fitted

Mine's the same used it for the first time when some idiot pulled out in front of me the wife p*ssed herself couldn't stop laughing. I think its located under the offside wing and I'm going to change it for a deeper tone one as its very embarrassing what were Seat thinking of.

The horn is just off centre of the bumper, under the radiator etc. it is the alarm siren under the drivers wing.
If yours has twin horns, they are at each end of the radiator.

Mine is a Sport - I would think and am sure it has twin as once I briefly heard it sound normal. The other half has a Stylance and that deffo has the usual VAG sounding twin horns, much better.

Thanks for info on location, need to check that out.

I had a 2007 Stylance which had a single high tone horn.

My understanding is that most have a single horn located behind the nsf fog lamp. Remove the single Phillips screw and pull off the trim. Carefully push back two securing lugs and twist the fog lamp then remove. You now have access to the horn.

Thanks, will check that out next time I can get on my brother's ramp.

OK, so my 2004 Sport has a horn both sides, located in and behind the front fog light.

My Low tone one has given up the ghost, so needs changing, no amount of fiddling or cleaning would get it to work.

So it seems some have a single in the middle and some have twins, with one each side of the car.

If i need to warn anyone of my approach i tend to stick my head out the window and shout.....it's less embarrasing!

Take either side foglight or grill covers out, see of you have a horn each side, one's probably not working.
It's only one screw and pivot it out towards the edges of the car.
