Just sounded my horn and the most weedy high pitched sound came out. Like something a bicycle horn would produce.

Anyone know if this is normal? I only had it serviced last week so there weren't any faults showing up then

It's a two-tone horn; suspect the lower-pitch unit is not working.

Seems to be a common problem. As above, it's a twin horn and your big blower has blown, leaving just the little fella to squeak.

Dealership job

[RichardJ]

Thanks. Got it booked in for 18th. They said they've had a few of these recently so obviously a problem. I miss my old horn!

[Rich9600]

Only takes about an hour to give you a 'fresh' horn.

My one failed after a few months. So, a few seconds of use...

[RichardJ]

I'm lost without a manly sounding horn

Cracking, should be a nice easy fix. Yeah it seems to be a very common problem on the F30. Never heard the pathetic horn though... Fancy doing us a video?

Funnily enough, I've got one of the earliest F30's, it's done 63,000mls, had a completely new engine, but the horn has been as loud and aggressive as the day it was new

It's a bit like this

[Frosticles]

Mine works either high or full on depending on where I press the wheel!!!

[RichardM]

I had the same problem but waited until the next service to get fixed nearly ever use my horn.

[Doc943]

Mine failed too. Quick dealer replacement.

Seems to be a common thing here as my low horn has packed in and mine sounds pathetic! Guess I need mine booked in...

Really?

[Rfc1970]

After reading this thread I booked my car in and got a meaner horn now !

[RichardJ]

Got my horn fixed today, boy did I miss it. Needed a complete replacement in the end.

Less pleasing was my 116d courtesy car. It rode more smoothly than my f30 on winters! Feels like it should be the other way around!

Mine also sounding weedy I noticed tonight.

I had to have my horn replaced last week. Can you believe the dealer wouldn't even entertain the idea of a courtesy car.. I had to walk two miles to a tube station because they didn't have any drivers to hand.

How long did it take to complete job and did they have to order in the part: i.e. did your car have to go in once for diagnosis and once for the fix?

[RichardJ]

I played my horn down the phone and the service guy said he instantly knew what it needed, after he stopped laughing. Took a couple of hours to repair.

Just had mine fixed. Dealer had part in stock. Much less embarrassing now!
