The acoustic valve is behind the passenger wheel arch.

Taken from another thread.

* Remove (entirely) the air box, disconnecting both air feeds (one to the right and one directly under).
Air box is held in place by two screws and jublie clips


* Jack the car up under front left, ensure you use a axle stand or similar


* Remove wheel, place neatly elsewhere


* Remove the underside arch-liner, fastened by a few torque screws and some fat looking plastic plugs
(these just pull out with a tug)


* Watch for the small ribbed cable (battery acid overflow pipe) as its connected to the arch liner. Let this dangle somewhere.


* You will now have exposed the underside of your front bumper, note the bracket holding both your horn and the
acousticvalve.

* Try to unclip as many of the wiring looms to both the horn and the
valve, let these looms dangle somewhere

* Undo the bolt holding the bracket in place


* Tuck the horn assembly somewhere out of the way


* Remove the small air feed, no 1, simply turn it to unclip


* Remove accoustic
valve by pulling it downwards and out of the wheel arch, if you meet resistance check looms are disconnected and path is clear

* You should be left with a large gap / hole


* Accoustic
valve will be connected to a thin black tube, remove as much of the connecting bits, leaving just the tube.
This must be blocked off (or you will idle above 1000rpm) with a screw / bung similar
Tape the screw in place

* Remount the horn, reconnect horn wiring loom to horn, screw bracket back into place


* Tape up all looms and cover ends with tape


* Tape blocked pipe somewhere


* Once the
valve is removed make any modifications you wish, i.e place your airfeeds etc

* Reconnect the battery overflow pipe to the grilled bottom of the arch liner


* Replace arch liner, fix with plugs and screws


* Put wheel back on, ensure wheel is flush to brake when placing nuts or you will mark your wheels


* Lower car


* Connect new air feeds to air box, replace air box, ensure jubile clips are tight


* Job done, admire your work.
