Feminine Horn on CLK

[br0ke]

My '95 5 series BM had a proper manly horn but the CLK's horn is - how do I say this - a bit limp.

What mercedes has a good deep 'what do you think you are doing' or 'how would you like to get out of my way' sounding horn?

Jeremy Clarkson's MB Grosser (sp) had a magnificent horn!

You could change the horns for any others that you like, I never blow mine, I do not even know if it works

My ML in the damp sounded like a limp dying julian clary and i would be too embarrassed to use it, looking underneath the horn had no protection from the elements and i had to be carefull when to use it to save the brass neck.

mercedes fit a polite horn to allow you to ask the car ahead to get to f@@k out the way in a nice way

Hi,

the CLK's horn is - how do I say this - a bit limp.

Funnily enough, this was one of the first things I mentioned on the Forum after I joined. My W124 had twin (high- and low-tone) horns capable of making the hoi polloi jump even when they were listening to iPods or thump-thump; otoh, the W210 has just a single 'limp' horn, and it has it's own special recess in the radiator, so no easy chance of simply bolting in a pair. I know MB's cost-cutting between the W124 and the W210 is legendary, but a £5 (bulk discount) horn on a five-figures-new car ...? :roll:

Regards,

The 210 has two horns, maybe you lost one

Discussed this just a few days ago with another forum member about the horns in my C-class. I even brought it up with MB when it was under warranty, who could only reply that both units (high & low) were working. I already knew that, it was just that they were relatively quiet compared to the Mondeo I had previously.

My o/s one's just given up.When they were both working, they made a 'nice' sound.But now, I sound like Postman Pat :Oops:

Have a set of air horns in a cupboard and a seperate cannister horn. Been thinking for years that I should link the three for the old triple air horn "Italian shreek in the passes" .

Don't suppose it will get done as the S320 horns are OK, reminiscent of the Rover 75 of yore which had a goodly set of horns - looked like snails. Sold a pair on ebay for ten quid a while back.

Maybe THESE are what we all need:

With the old wind tones of the 60,s you could take off the top and tune them, I had 3 the played a nice chord

I new a guy whose Granada had a set of Police horns which certainly turned heads and at night, no one could figure where the Police Car had gone. Used to give a blast when parking at the Pub! Got the drinkers thinking!
