Alarm Horn

Alarm Horn
I have an Audi A8L 2004.
It seems that the Alarm Horn is not working any more. Any time I push the Panic bottom, the lights flash but there is no Alarm sound.
I let an Indi. mechanic check it and got a quote of $460 incl. parts and labour.
Is there any cheaper way to do it? I think the Alarm itself it so difficult to get to, so is the labour high too. Could I use an Alarm from VW PAssat or simmilar for this?
Thank you,
A.

Under the hood on the passenger side.
See this diagram 2004 AUDI A8 QUATTRO Parts - AudiUSAParts.com
I've heard that there is a diaphragm in the siren/alarm horn that sometimes comes unsoldered over time.
Since it's not working now it might be worth trying to fix.
Otherwise it's about $190 to replace.

My alarm horn stopped working. Went to the dealer and a new cost $330 So I ordered one off of Ebay, got installed it same thing not working. So I opened up my horn and found that that batteries were bad leaking all over the place. Cleaned everything up tried to find some new batteries no luck. Found a site (Audi A4/B6 Alarm Siren - Replace NiMH Batteries | Audi-Sport.net) it's from England. It has a way to modify the battery pack. I tried one thing to make sure the horn and circuit board were still good. I plugged the horn back in without any batteries and it works. so some how the bad batteries are screwing thing up.
