Bentley GT Horn Location

Anyone know where I can find the horns?

One of them has crapped out and I need to check its either plugged in or replace it.

Twin horns are on right hand side under side fender. To access remove wheel and liner to replace.

I doubt its a loose connection as I replaced one of mine at the dealers. Simple DIY if you buy the horn online and replace yourself.

Ops forgot to type in Right hand side fender.

Twin horn doesn't sound that loud, maybe try again with window down.

Its only one horn. Very pathetic sounding so I've already just purchased a replacement new Bently unit for $50 which wasnt the end of the world at all.

I'll pull the wheel off and the lining and get it in on Saturday. A horn is very much needed in London.

I have never thought the Bentley was all that outstanding when was working properly. This car should blast a sound to clear the road of all disrespecting drivers.

I literally just picked up the car. Its my first ever Bentley GT !

The horn is sounding very asthmatic :/

I am loving it so far but it's a big change for me out of a 997 Turbo and other various cars that were more nimble but no where near as comfortable or held the presence this car does.

Welcome to the bentley experience and no i don't work for the MoCo. I drove the Porsche before I bought the GTC and thought it was quite a nice sporty car but the ride of the Bentley ruined every other car for me. It didn't hurt that it ain't no dog either.

Horn does suck. I'd like to see something more along the lines of a railroad engine super blaster. When you are doing a buck thirty and overtaking a car they can not even hear your horn coming.

Agree stock horn is surprisingly ordinary. At least the Ferrari had that cute dual airhorn. It was...perfect. Bentley should step it up.

Didn't Mercedes make a car with an amazing horn (Top Gear guy drove one).

Steven could please detail the reason a car has a horn in the first place? I need your help to make a point so tell me why we have horns in the car.

In my city there's a heavily trafficked short tunnel where every weekend everyone beeps at each other inside it. It is a decades-long tradition, and all visitors wonder what's happening. You hear a big variety of horn sounds.

It's also illegal to use horns here for goodbyes, hello's, or simply because you have one. So I've never heard what my horn sounds like. I may have to export the car to the nearest country with more relaxed rules

Bentley came with either single or twin horn setup. Since replacing one of my horns it does sound weak for a B car. You would expect to turn around a see a Mini Cooper or something from this horn.

Installing twin air horns wouldn't be hard and everything will jump outta the way for u.

Available Answers:


1. To warn other drivers of their impending/ongoing stupidity

2. To alert others of the driver's intentions.

3. Because men like loud things

And you know this was coming...

4. To get the attention of that amazingly beautiful group of small New England town farmer's daughters / collage ladies...

The Ferrari had this verbose, awesome fully open/custom exhaust engine sound. It was VERY loud and extremely 'mean'. And then you had this cute little dual air horn, they were like polaropposites, yet were perfect together. So what horn really would work best for aBentley, which is the question.

Well done sir as always so here we go.

1. This is akin to cursing with a clear motive to show the inferiority of the other driver and is never effective if they can't hear the derisive admonitions. Closely related to this is the warning that I am driving a very expensive car that I care about so please don't hit me with that rust bucket POS that you are aiming at me.

2. Yes I mean I need that road space more than you so get the bleep out of my way. Also you are going to slow, possibly the speed limit, and I am going twice that or more so mind you place and don't crap on your self as I blow by.

3.Mine is better than yours and my massive ---- proves that. Louder is better, bigger is best and faster is much better. So if I am louder,bigger and faster I am the most bestest. yes I really can spell most of the time but sometimes prefer not.

4. This is why we need two horns. The first locomotive horn for the three above then the second one for #4. We would like to say hello there see me, I see you and you are hot and BTW so am I or at least have $$$.

All the above comments are for humor only and no way were intended to be arrogant or ugly. If you agree with any if my comments then you are a pig. Just like me.
