Default Diagnosed someone's horn problem yesterday...

Friend of mine who drives an 02 1.8T, but isn't involved with the forums or anything, was telling me (when I was showing him the airhorn on my vehicle) how puny he thought the stock horn was. I asked him to hit it for me, and it was the weakest little sound i've ever heard (meep, meep high pitched). So I explained to him that there are two horns on the car, one high and one low, and other people have reported one of those horns simply failing on their cars in the past.

I suggested that the low-tone horn was most likely out, and next time he was at the dealer he should ask them to fix it. Does this sound about right? Pretty funny, my airhorn trounced his little mini horn

Well, the A4's horn is no "blast of sound" but it should be more than a meep-meep sound for sure....

Default I have nothing relevant to add, but I find it humorous that we are trying to describe the sound

of the horn with a "meep-meep".

Default Actually, I kinda wish it was a real meep meep

as I love the Roadrunner character, and it would actually put a smile on my face in the midst of my anger as I'm laying on the horn when someone cuts me off or whatever.

Default I think one of my horns actually went out, it sounds real funky, and.....

the sound is not consistant. if i hold on the horn, you can hear it changing tones. so i think mine is messed up.
