Where is the horn located on the Volkswagen Bora?
1 Answers
The horn on the Volkswagen Bora is located inside the engine hood, to the left of the radiator. How the horn works: The car's electric horn produces sound through the vibration of a metal diaphragm. The electric horn consists of an iron core, a magnetic coil, contacts, an armature, and a diaphragm, among other components. When the driver presses the horn button, current flows through the contacts to the coil, generating a magnetic force that pulls the armature down, forcing the diaphragm to move. The movement of the armature opens the contacts, interrupting the current and causing the coil's magnetic force to disappear. The diaphragm, along with the armature, returns to its original position due to its own elasticity and the action of the spring plate, closing the contacts again and completing the circuit. Current then flows through the contacts to the coil, generating magnetic force once more, and the process repeats. This continuous cycle causes the diaphragm to vibrate repeatedly, producing sound. Different types: Car horns can be categorized by their sound mechanism into air horns and electric horns. Based on their shape, they are divided into cylindrical, spiral, and disc types. According to their frequency, they are classified as high-pitched and low-pitched horns.
