Horn Upgrade

[Shredder]

Haven't got the van yet but assume the standard horn maybe a bit "cheap" and tinny sounding ??? .... my Vito Sport one was certainly annoyingly weak.

I notice there are 2 upgrades available in the T6 section of the Vanstyle site :

Upgraded Horns, VW T6 Van Accessories 15 - Van Styling Accessories

Anybody got any experience of either of those ?? Or something else ?? Or everyone happy with the standard one??

You won't be missed with the Nautilus, very loud and sounds like a big truck

 

[Shredder]

Hmmm ... might be overkill and / or a bit tacky ?

What's your view of the standard one ?

 

[Tony Morris]

I've never sounded it I got the Nautilus for my bike. They have a very slight delay so took a feed from the standard horn to the Nautilus relay. A slight press of the horn sounds the standard horn press for a second or so and the Nautilus comes on. Good on the bike when someone clearly hasn't seen you.

My standard 2 tone horn is way loud and "Manly" enough.

Many years ago when I got my first company van it had a pathetic horn so I added a pair similar the ones below my father found at an auction. They were outrageous but fun to use under bridges etc.. you could see other motorists physically jump when you used them

 

[Tourershine]

Mine came as standard with a loud 2 tone that scares the crap out of anyone daring enough to cut up a big Black van.

 

[Shredder]

Hmmm .... this sounds very promising thanks guys. The standard fitment on a new Highline could well be perfectly fine then. The one on my old Vito Sport was just appalling

 

[Tourershine]

Can I suggest you put your ear against the front grill, whist someone presses it for several seconds to confirm if it's loud enough.

(Don't try this at home kids)

Did the same vehicle have semaphore indicators, and a push starter on the floor?

I'm not old enough to remember those

 

[Insert Coin]

It's quite a decent horn on the 2018 Highline's, I fitted a Nautilus on one of my old pickups and Christ it was loud, great fun.

 

[Chopman]

I'm still trying to work out how I can mount this....

 

[Oldrat]

Stebel nautilus compact, 115 dB at 2 meters which is a tad more than the truck one at 110db. (AND if it’s a truck version shouldn’t it be 24v ??)

£34 on eBay, free postage

Might be cheaper offers, I didn’t look

I used similar in my bike, really really loud

My great granddad told me about those semaphore indicators

 

[Shredder]

I remember @Tourershine telling me early days on here that Threads soon get off topic on the T6Forum ..... I now realise who the instigator is, which he omitted to mention at the time

 

[richi]

I'm happy with the standard one but it would be good fun to have one like @Loz fitted

You want a train horn

 

[Dieseldonkey]

Being a fan of all things.......pre light emitting diode, I quite fancy one of these.

Although Mrs Donkey has threatened divorce.

 

[richi]

I had to stop the video half way through the train one because my stomach was hurting from laughing so much

Where can I get one?

That is hilarious. That is my next mod for sure.
