Old compressor horn

Post by rdv »

Hi,
as an early AS Spider driver I had the problem, that my compressor horn doesn't work. No electric problem, but just a quiet clicking from under the hood.

The solution was just a little bit of oil into the small hole in the lid of the compressor horn. Some tries and the old Titanic Sound was doing it again! :)

After that I didn't have any problems again with my horn especially in permanent work on the North Italian Mountain roads. 8)

Bye, Ralf
