That's very helpful Jesse but where (oh where) is the horn situated?

I don't know where it is situated. Normally it is situated at the bottom at the front of the car (left or right). I should be pretty easy to modify. The old horn had a high tone horn and a low tone horn, the new one only has the high tone horn. Therefore, you only need the low tone horn, an extra holder and material to connect the horn to the existing wire.

I was going to change the horn on my Fabia but apparently it upsets the cars circuit sensors, or some such.

My Kamiq now has DUAL sounding horns .. buying  a 2nd hand VW Polo Dual horn set and a Splitter cable.. both on Ebay.

Leave the vertical bracket there, I made a new bracket for and attached  the dual horns, bolted it to the existing vertical bracket, plugged in .. yay !        30 Sept 2023

 

= Test that your existing horn does work before start, Car up on ramps, remove 9 x Torx #25 screws, to remove underside plastic underside splash guard.

 

= On the existing SINGLE horn, .. Unplug wiring , by 'pressing down' the SQUARE piece at the wires end, to be able to pull the plug off ,

then remove 10mm nut, then attach your manufactured new bracket [with the Dual Horns mounted on], to the existing vertical bracket

( using a new bolt/nut )  & plug into the car horn wireloom plug ... do a TEST toot ! Cable tie the plug to the bracket.

 

= To Make a bracket , I bought some perforated metal strap, cut to length and 'doubled' up for strength,

drill 3 holes { A B C } to suit dual horns and centre mount attachment bolt and painted black.  

I bought the SECOND hand VW OEM Dual Polo Horns on Ebay. search: " Volkswagen Polo dual horn 6 "

{ some on ebay come with a bracket that may or may not suit your car }. There are plenty of other VW dual horns to choose from ..

I chose the Polo because it is a smaller vehicle. ( a smaller horn size ? ). ..

Maybe also search other VW models for a dual horn .. Beetle, Passat, T-Cross, Golf etc. Audi's - Seat's etc.

I bought second hand VW OEM horns and NOT the copies or those ones with interconnecting loose wire sets. 

Also, maybe this company suits ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/vwbreakersyard

 

=  Bought a splitter cable. := AliExpress .. [ there are MANY ! ] . . .{ just copy and paste each item to search }
