Horn Replacement

[Loadmaster748]

After six weeks of ownership I thought "what does the horn sound like on this car?".

Frankly, it's an embarrassment - a weak and weedy single tone 'beep'!

Has anyone replaced theirs, or can tell me where I can actually find it buried under the bonnet?

Thanks!

 

[Seriously?]

Can't help with where it is; usually behind a wheel arch liner or the front bumper But when you do find it, replace it with one of these

Totally agree, my last (22 plate) MK4 FR had a loud twin tone horn.

My previous two cars had sweet-sounding dual tone horn from factory so it was a surprise to me that a fully loaded car like Cupra Ateca came with an awful single tone one. Of course I had to replace it with dual tone using the original parts. Here's my post about that & some other retrofits:

You can hear the difference in videos.

Thanks Serdar - I'll take a look at the link.

Cost cutting since 2020, our Ateca 1.5 FR has a beefy dual tone horn.
