GTi got the horn?
« on: 08 September 2009, 17:40 »
Somtimes if i flick the indicator on in a wierd way or do the rear wiper my horn lets out a lil 'parp'. Its quite funny and not really an issue but if it had a simple fix i may as well.... any sugestions?? :grin:

Mine used to do it on right turns, but I managed to fix it by not turning right any more. So the most simple fix for you is to not indicate.

I knew there was a reason people didn't indicate on roundabouts :smiley:

The best part is when you go to overtake, signal to pull out and drop down at the same time... if i get it right its a pshht from the dump valve folowed by a lil parp. that must confuse people?
