Removing the Horn

[josh263uk]

I have done a search, but cant find what im looking for.

I want to remove the horn on my 57 ibiza, but dont know where to look in the engine bay for it.

The reason I want to take it out is it sounds a bit week, and I intend to fit a better stronger horn to the car.

Thanks

behind the passenger side front fog light surround

not a lot of room in there but I did manage to fit a pair of Alhambra horns in and they sound ace

Yea my old Punto mk1 had a better horn than the Ibiza! Sounded like an Airhorn! I loved it! People got a shock when they looked in their rear view mirror! Not that I peep all the time!

i fitted mine by taking the grill bit out around the fog light and then taking a couple of screw out that hold the bottom tray bit of the bumper on so i could get my hand underneath

^^^^^ yup, same here, still skinned my knuckles though

Think i'll be changing my horn on my Ibiza for the same reason.

Does anyone have an idea what this one is like? Says genuine seat/skoda/vw but doesn't say what car it is from: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-AUDI-SEAT-...oryZ9889QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Also seen this FIAMM one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FIAMM-new-HOR...oryZ9886QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

And a PIAA one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PIAA-Sports-H...ryZ43120QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

Any recommendations?

TBH there is no need to get brand new horns, you will be better off going to a breakers and finding a pair that are plug and play off of a golf/passat/alhambra

horns either work or don't work and you can test them before buying if you find a battery near buy

£10 tops for a pair of horns, then give them a clean and bosh them on the bizza

Does the ibiza already have a spare plug for a second horn or do you need to wire them up?

 

[Guinness]

Will need to be wired I think

 

[sparcoracer87]

ok thanks didnt think they would be nice and make it easy they really should put a better horn on it as standard as it lets the car down a little bit

 

[Nath.]

If like me you get a pair of alhambra ones from the breakers they come wired up with just one plug



if you get the right year alhambra it will be plug n play, just don't ask me what year it was

 

[sparcoracer87]

Sweet that saves a bit of time Thanks for that Ill track some down this weekend do they sound offensive so somebody knows when your angry with them

 

[Nath.]

sounds like a proper twin tone horn rather than a mickey mouse beep

 

[sparcoracer87]

Excellent thanks very much for your help

Nathwarr.... is the alhambra horns easy to fit (do they sit straight into the old holes) or does it require work?

 

[Boom^]

Ive always fancied a big american HGV horn. With a pull down cord and everything! Thatd **** some middle lane hoggers up!

Hmm.. maybe i should go back to watching The great 80s film Convoy
