Anyone know why my 2017 Ghibli diesel beeps the horn occasionally on startup ?

Daft question, but you're sure it's the horn? Not a tracker beeping?

Thanks for suggestion. Well it did have a Vodafone Nav Trak on 3 year subscription but that expired May 2021 so I assume it was deactivated but may be covertly still present in the car. ? The beep sounds like the car horn & only happens very occassionally on startup.

When I opened mine the other morning it did the brief horn beeps, never done it before and not since... (normally does the alarm bleeps)

Might it be trying to tell you there is a battery on the way out - keyfob maybe, that sort of thing?

Thanks I'll check.

Hi mate. Need your help on my Maserati Ghibli 3.0 v6 2015. I need to source the twin headlight washer jet for the near side. I noticed you found an alternative part for the Alfa Romeo stelvio. Could you please advise their part number and where I can source this. Thanks. Riki

Hi Riki, the part was the actual motorised mechanical pump itself, common to both sides. The actual washer jets are sort of like a bicyle pump in that they receive the pressured water which pushes them up (if you follow). If its the motor then I sourced mine from my local Alfa Romeo dealership.

I changed this motor on mine and it turned out that wasnt the issue. The issue was a non return valve in the "bicyce pump" itself. (number 9 on this diagram)

thanks for your response. My pump / assembly is operating fine. It’s just the cap and washer jet part that came off. I’ve sourced the cap and got it painted but I can’t seem to find the little twin washer jet part on its own anywhere. Any ideas. I’ve added the part I need in first pic. The other set of pics are the ones the other poster used on a previous chat you had on same subject. My car is in same situation but it’s the near side I need. Appreciate any advice. Thanks

Think I might need part 18 but I believe it’s sold as part of the full assembly and not on its own?

 

[P R]

18 looks like it is a rivet. The little twin nozzle thing looks like its attached to the (expensive) part number 9 (the "bicycle pump).
Maybe call Eurospares and ask them, they are very helpful and knowlegable in my experience

The washers are only available as the complete set and plumping at £eeeek
I have (at least) one spare set of nozzles, though, if it helps

Hi mate. Can you please help. I didn’t see your post until now sorry. Was giving up all hope. Could I possibly buy your nozzles from you?
