  • T-ROC R Horn is weak

    Has anyone fitted a better horn to the ROC? Perhaps a louder one from another VAG vehicle is better? I find the weak sound a trifle embarrasing for the R.

    Any suggestions?

    Not sure about the T-Roc, but all the VW's and Audi's ive owned over the past 15yrs or so have dual tone horns (dual horns, one plays a lower tone and the other a higher tone - together they produce quite a strong sound).

    Is it possible that one of your horns is not operating? Has the horn always been weak? Or its possible that this is a cost saving measure on the newer VW's like the T-Roc?

    If it bothers you then look into a dual tone horn upgrade.

    A quick Google revealed this which is for the VW Taos (id never heard of a Taos, but it looks like a T-Cross/T-Roc/Tiguan love child that is sold in North America/South America & Russia). Apparently these have a piss weak single tone horn so this company has created a dual tone horn upgrade B2BFAB Upgraded Horn Kit, For 2022 VW Taos

      It's a cost saving for us Aussies - my data sheet shows PR number 8Y0 which is "Single Tone Horn"
