Horn Part Number?

Gents,

One of the horns on my '99 C2 CAB has stopped working (not sure if high or low tone) and I would therefore like to replace. As I'm not sure which one is not working I will just replace both. Does anyone know if this is a VW/Audi Group product? If so, does anyone know VW's or Audi's part number? (the reason I'm asking is that a friend of mine works for Audi and will be able to order the units at discounted price).

Thank you, in anticipation of any help. :beer:

Dave,

Not sure if this is a VW/Audi part, but I believe the Porsche part numbers are as follows:

-fanfare (high-pitched) 996 635 206 04

-fanfare (low-pitched) 996 635 205 04

Are there any references to a VAG number/ID on the horn?

Thanks TTD,

I had a quick look with a mag lite the other day and didn’t notice one, however I’ll have a closer look this weekend and see what I can see.

I could take the bumper off to have a look, but don’t fancy doing the job twice.

If the Porsche units are expensive I’ll probably upgrade to some Hella units or similar as they’re probably cheaper (would also consider air horns, as there are some terrible drivers here in the UK!).

Does anyone have any suggestions for a horn upgrade? If so, can they be fixed to the existing mounts?

I purchased a pair of Hella horns from Griots, and they used the existing wiring and mounting. It was a 5 minutes job once the bumper cover was off. FYI, my car is a 2001 C2. And those suckers are LOUD!

Thanks Trauh,

I take it the Hella horns are electric, not air horns that require additional compressor and have a delay when you hit the steering wheel?

Yes, they are electric. Air horns would be a more involved install, and certainly a lot louder.

The horns are made by FER. http://www.fer-online.com/

The part number on the high tone is 01 2222 903. I assume this is a FER part number. I do not have a low tone to look at.

I would not be at all suprised if it is also used by Audi/WV.

Toolpants, as ever, you are a star. However, I will probably purchase the Hella twin supertones. They are half the price if I order them from the states and have the shipped (compared to UK)!

I take it the existing relay will be up to the job? will I have to beef up the associated fuse (I'm going to purschase the B133 Hella supertone)?

Thanks for everyones' help to date.

I have the oem electric horns and air horns hooked up together. I did not change the relay or fuse. Been a few years and nothing has melted or blown. The combined amp draw on my electric and air horns is going to be far greater than your proposed replacement electric Hella horns
