Ridiculous question

Good point Greg, instead of tooting the horn I could lob a can of HTFU at them through the window!

This thread is ALMOST as stupid as the guy asking what gear to pull in to impress people in his car.

[Greg Roles]

To be fair I have some uprated horns from Hella, and they are good for the odd time you want to let someone know you are there. Seems to get the point across!

I've no trouble with the length of beep from the horn but it is a little tough to push. But not really any different to the MkV from my experience. For shorter blasts, try more towards the edge rather than the centre maybe?

It might come as a surprise but in most states you can be booked for using a horn for anything but a warning

Why is the horn pad so stiff on the Mk6 style steering wheel?

I have wondered this too. Be interesting to know if this characteristic is intentional or simply a quirk.

Maybe its excited that you are taking it for a drive .......now I will go away and do some work

[chorrylan]

the idiot that was cutting me off has already got home, kissed the missus and ....

I'd recommend applying fairly serious force and perhaps inserting one of those tins of htfu somewhere.... just beeping your horn is hardly sufficient to dissuade someone from kissin' yer missus

HAHAHA. You literally made me lol irl.

I guess I'll just have to suck it up and scare people once I get the Super-Tones.

I doubt it's a quirk as there are others that have the same characteristics. Even our Tig is the same yet with the Mk5 style steering wheel.

As mentioned, my friend with her 90TSI Golf was the opposite, she could "chirp" the horn nicely. She says it's because she uses it a lot in Melbourne

[Greg Roles]

Well I would assume the pad is kept off the contact plate by 3 or more springs, you could always pull it apart and downgrade the springs!

Ah that made me smile out loud!

Maybe buy some dumb bells? If the horn is an issue to press... Its a good horn and sounds like the BMW "**** OFF!!" horn.
