Have QQ 1.3 Dig-t 140 Tekna, six weeks, 2500 miles, great car after having had two x-Trails. Small, but I find annoying issue - am I alone in finding that the audible warning, in addition to green arrows, that reminds that indicators or the turn signal is on is too quiet and can barely be heard above extraneous noise. Any suggestion for making louder?

Yes they are quiet, I frequently find I’ve left mine on, no adjustment as far as I’m aware.

Welcome to this forum.

It's certainly not adjustable but conceivably you could wire in an extra buzzer - don't ask me how though!

Trout - thanks I feel less of an idiot, don't we all think "silly old git" when we see another car driving miles along motorway with indicator blinking.

And thanks gloucester for link to buzzer on eBay.

I find the issue so annoying that I'm thinking of finding an auto-electrician to fit a supplementary or other buzzer. But before I incur that cost how can I know that a buzzer purchased for eBay will be any louder?

Apologies for been late with my reply, but had an additional buzzer fitted by an Auto Electrician, does the job - but make sure they fit the buzzer on the driving side of the vehicle

I had this problem also with our 14 QQ but I had the wife to tell me “Turn the Signal” OFF. The TV was also louder than usual so off to the ENT Doc to get an ear check. Comment was your German Wife is correct you are Deaf, so I got some Wi-Fi Hearing Aids (iPhone) and now I hear everything and the new QQ has definitely got louder Horns without modifying - Dave 🤣
