BAAArp or Beep

Parsko · 19-07-2007, 17:14

I think the horn on my Roomy is puny, are you Roomster owners happy with yours just wondering if they are supposed to be like that or if my horn is faulty.
So, simple question, Does your Roomy go BAAArp or Beep?

Furby does not sound any better either

i had my fabia a few days when this bloke pulled out in front of me,i went mental with him swearing at him then i 'hit' the horn....the most girly beep i've ever heard came from my car.
i nearly died of shame and have never used it since !!!

In the first week I've changed my horn with a street-legal Bosch Airmaster and it's perfect

I like the look of that, did you fit a relay or just wire it direct?
Where on the Roomster is the original horn fitted?
Any pictures of the Airmaster fitted to your car?
Cheers.

Just fitted directly to the original place (even the Bosch horn is little big than the original, but it's OK), without relay. Great sound!

Sorry, I don't have any pics.

I had a boy racer almost run me off the road the day I got the car. I pushed the horn and this pathetic noise came out.

I bet the boy racer thought "stupid old codger"....................I'm only 31!

My Octavia has a proper two-tone horn and I thought the Fabia did too?

My Fabia 1.2 had a diaphragm horn with a terrible sound!

I had already tried the horn when a driver pulled out left (and fast) from her cul-de-sac, looking right, as I was committed to overtaking parked cars on our road. I could see her entering the crunch zone in seconds. The horn did have the desired effect but was a surprise!

Today, husband, myself and 16 year old plus her friend called for another friend so we got him to beep the horn outside her house.

Result: 5 of us in fits of laughter and the verdict: it sounds like Mr Toad - poop, poop!

I did a bit of poking about today and found the puny horn on my roomster cowering behind the blanking panel inboard of the N/S fog light.
Told it good n proper shape up or ship out. It didn't make any difference, that horn will soon be history!

BOSCH Air Master...

Pretty sure my wife's MPi Comfy has a proper two-tone jobbie like mine as well - maybe the crappy ones were a cost-cutting measure in later versions?

Do you mind saying where you bought it? I've been Googling furiously and the only one I could find was on fleaBay in the Phillipines

TIA

I've bought from the Bosch Car service in Istanbul, it was approx. 35 Euro.

There must be Bosch Car Services...

I hope this helps... Car Service, MOT and car repairs - Bosch UK

I couldn't get hold of the airmaster either so I got a Stebel Nautilus Compact from Halfords £17.49
STEBEL S.p.a.
16amp draw! so I am going to hard wire it through the relay (supplied) using the existing wiring for switching only.
I will post pictures and let you know how I get on later this weekend.

Both have the same mold, shape and tone. IIRC Stebel already has a relay...
