I really didn't know where it came from, and didn't suspect the car at first.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The other day while braking over some bumps, I was surprised by a horn honking on and off until I came to a stop. I really didn't know where it came from, and didn't suspect the car at first. Even my wife was looking around at who could have honked at us. Get to our destination, and when getting out of the car, I get a short beep from the horn. Ah well, maybe I bumped it? My wife said "what's your deal with the horn today?" I just laughed it off. Sitting out by a pool, my horn goes off and doesn't stop. By the time I got to the car, it must have taken out the fuse. I went online when I got home to find this is a very common issue, and easy to fix. Sooo, I ordered the part from one of my trusted Porsche parts suppliers, and it came in a bag called URO Parts. The way it was represented on the web clearly indicated an OEM part, but that's not what I got. Anyone think there's an issue with this aftermarket version? I'm kind of an OEM freak, but if it's the equivalent, I can live with it.

But not necessarily for that part. The host retail site lists a lot of stuff as made by an "OEM supplier" which may be correct if you are looking for the exact part they actually make for Porsche, say the screws that hold the tail lights in place; but the water pump they also make is not used by Porsche, but will be noted on the site as coming from an "OEM supplier". Verbal slight of hand.......

No idea. I make it a policy to not buy from companies that play this game
