crap horn

[owen lcr]

hi folks, i sounded my horn the other day and it has suddenly turned :gay:. it was ok for a start but now has turned into the sound you would here on a scooter. do these cars have two horns and maybe one of them have died. please help as i cant beep my horn until this is sorted.

thanks, owen

I've got exactly the same problem. I had two Mk 5 Golfs (1.9 TDI SE and 2.0 GT TDI) before my Leon and both horns on the Golf were different, 2.0 TDI was much more manly. Wouldn't have thought they would change the sound of the horn with different specced cars. Think I might pop mine into Seat for some warranty work and see what they say.

2 horns, behind the front bumper. one behind each fog light rurround area.

Thanks for that Nath. Does anyone know whether its something they may replace under warranty?
Cheers

Yep, should be a warrenty issue. Before you waste your time just make sure all the fuses are OK.

Thanks again. I've got to pop it in for some more bits and bobs which need attention, got some issues with my door mirrors... We'll soon see what they say.

Sorry for hi-jacking this thread owen_lcr

Could check it out if you have time min. Remember we had access to it when we did your intercooler. Give me a call sometime.

Hi guys have had this prob with the horn to on my fr got it replaced under warranty as one side failed, they said they have changed quite a few on leons but fine now

Right, car went in for a service and some warranty work yesterday. Fixed quite a lot of issues (folding mirrors, fogged up rear lights etc) for me but they couldn't fault my horn! So looks like I'll be left with my Graham Norton sounding horn...

Do other peoples horns sound "funny" or do they have a deep sound to them?
