All,
Is anyone else having trouble with the stock standard single horn that won't beep loudly as it should when the horn button is pressed ?

Ken, I hear there is a little blue pill that should help your ageing horn.--- On Fri, 15/4/11, Ken Garratt <unclekenz@hotmail.com> wrote: |

It could be electrical or mechanical.
First use a test light. Black wire at horn live to earth when ignition on. If OK then put test lamp black to brown on horn and get someone to push horn button. If OK it is a horn problem.
Turn ignition on and hold horn button in then slap the horn around a bit and see if it works. Then hold it on for a minute or so to clear it out.
There may also be a points adjustment on the horn.

No I'm interested to know if anyone else is actually experiencing this problem, I had it with my T2 kombi as well, so figured it may be fairly common. Perhaps I can help. Anyone? Yes/no?

Hartmut,
Sure it is and yes you do!
Now that it's fixed, you win a hearing test right up close and dirty ... next time I visit that perennial car wash from the heavens place you call home. HA!
