Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Picture of inside my horn.

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

The tube (hose barb) that is not attached to anything will be your air inlet. Air needs to get sucked in, in order to be compressed and pumped out to the trumpets. The sponge (foam rubber) is an air filter, but the debris you found inside is probably the foam that just disintegrated over decades.

Clean it thoroughly, as well as the trumpets, find a new piece of foam rubber to use as an air filter and reassemble. The best choice for oil is "air tool oil", or ATF (automatic transmission fluid).

Subject: [Ferrari] Picture of inside my horn.

 

I got confident watching a video on YOUTUBE and decided to open my horn. Here it is: The sponge under the spring feels as dry as it can be, the lower right rectangular opening has some clean oil in it, everything else is just dirty. I’ll clean up the blades. The black tube in the middle was attached to a tube on the car. But the black tube on the left was not connected to anything.

Does that give anybody any clues to my problem ?

M,

Open the front bonnet pop those off the compressor have someone press the horn if you feel air coming out the tube on the side of the compressor it's working I think you might have the hoses loose on the horn trumpets?
