... because she stopped cooperating when I honked the horn.

Before it turns out to be a weasel bite (I saw one), and before the repair shop charges me money, I'd like to take a look myself.

If this thing just suddenly stopped working, I'm going to get really annoyed and probably have to let out some harsh words. Poorly assembled, rattling, crackling, failing horns... it's frustrating.

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

Okay, I can't help you right now, but when I get home, I'll try to figure it out. I'm currently driving a golf cart... if no one has an idea by then, I'd be happy to help!

According to my information, the subwoofer is located next to the radiator on the passenger side.

To improve performance, you should remove the sound insulation under the engine (possibly including the wheel housing).

Found.

"Tiefton is sitting to the right of/behind the Nebler."

Expansion/Extension possible with a minimally invasive approach.
- Remove the grille (using a Phillips head screwdriver, then clip it off).
- Neber out (3 TX25)
- Disconnect the horn electrically and remove it using SW10.

The component is dead... it shows infinite resistance and is unaffected by the 12 volts.

Now I'll ask Volkswagen tomorrow whether I should reinstall it and then complain, or if they will just give me a new one icon_smile.gif.

Oh, sorry... then my "program" was probably a bit flawed. I haven't worked on any new VWs for two years.

If it were an Audi, I would have immediately written something like "grille for the fog lights, etc." I've never worked on a 3C before...

P.S. The 3C models have quite a few flaws (although, as far as I know, the horn is not one of the known issues with those icon_wink.gif).

Doll icon_confused.gif

The mothership needs to go to the workshop. I can't just get a new horn and install it myself.

Okay, so tomorrow I'm going to dump the pieces of the Passat in front of their door and hope that afterwards, the foghorn doesn't honk and the horn doesn't make a foggy noise icon_lol.gif.

"Let's get started on the error log" and "electrically check it"... The master explained it nicely, and I believe him that he has to deliver all this... But the horn isn't in the error log... unlike the missing fog light, which was lying NEXT to the car when I drove it into the garage icon_wink.gif.

Well, let them go ahead and do it.

Oh, I forgot: Yes, the horn down there is still working (for now)... Good luck at the repair shop!

By the way, the high-pitched horn is located on the left side (also behind the fog light).

Interestingly, the grid is completely open there, so you can see them immediately.

The right side has only one hole, which serves as a handle for pulling it out if you ever need to be towed.

m;

PS: No, there's nothing suitable for a small front linkage (front-mounted implement carrier) because the 3C has a very large one.

Does it have the external temperature sensor like the Golf?

Otherwise, you'll have to get the entire Bluemotion cladding... then it will be even more aerodynamic and faster icon_smile.gif.

Here's another photo of the last known location of my low-pitched horn.

By the way, the Nebler is now only screwed directly into the plastic – no more metal spring nuts (cheap, cheap).

Hehe... it looks like a picture of an accident: the front part is "damaged" and the bicycle is lying on the ground.

Duck and cover...

Oops, you're right.

and to top it off, the right fork leg has actually broken off!

Wow.

That seems to be good quality.

02/03/2007 - Picked up the Passat in WOB.
20.06.07 9910 km - Replaced low-frequency horn.
2008-01-21, 36236 km - Low-frequency horn replaced.
04.02.09 59259 km - The low-frequency horn needs to be replaced again.

Why do I have to go to the VW dealership more often for horn issues than for oil changes, car washes, and other routine maintenance?

3 years and 3 horns eaten!

I probably honk the horn only 1 or 2 times a year, if it's absolutely necessary.
Am I honking too little, causing the low-frequency horn to suffer from underutilization?

Clearly a case of not enough honking... that reminds me, I should also honk soon. I can't even remember how the horn on my Golf works. Yesterday, I accidentally honked the bus and was surprised at how loud it is... it seems to be in the glove compartment, judging by the sound icon_smile.gif.

My condolences. Does this thing get exposed to water somehow, or does it break down due to vibrations? I always thought horns were more or less indestructible...
