Polo Horn

Did anyone have any luck swapping out their horn with a Passat?

What model Passat do you need?

Getting a bit tried hitting the horn and looking around for the 13 year school boy fighting with a cat.

Pretty happy with the stock horn - very German-car sounding. I had a Stebel Nautilus air horn from the old car (designed for motorbike use so its self-contained in one unit, no loose hoses and very compact but VERY loud) - I find myself not wanting to put it in even though it's an easy fit.

What I do want to do though, and I'll probably never get around to, is to rewire the horn so that it works without the ignition key like a Japanese/Aussie car (suppose I have to beep someone I'm waiting for while parked).

Better still, old Euro cars had the town and country horn option that switches between a loud airhorn for the open road and a soft one for urban use, if only I could find a stock-looking switch for it.

So from what I can gather it appears that the earlier GTIs came with the Vienna Boys Choir version of the horn and latter models are fitted with something more appropriate for wearing a GTI badge.

I have a 2006 model GTI so looks like MR Spareparts man at the local dealer will be getting a visit from me to look through the parts catalogue.

Polo has a high tone and low tone, very common for one to fail, when one fails they sound terrible.
