Normal. Some time around spring ‘23 they took many cost saving measures. Right around time they went from two 12V batteries to one. Prior production had two 300 Hz Hella horns.
Cons: cost saving measures
I have the Hella trumpet horn and it works great to get people’s attention
Pros: works great, gets attention
Yes ... the stock horn is an absolute joke. People actually laugh thinking the sound is coming from a Moped. A single Hella SuperTone Horn fits perfectly ... can use original mounting location. There is NO ROOM for anything much larger.
Pros: fits perfectly, easy install
Cons: no room for larger horns
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I tapped into the existing horn wire, added a relay and dedicated power to win Hella horns. Left front behind the headlight. Get's attention when needed.
Pros: gets attention when needed
It's MUCH better. The forum member makes really nice harnesses to spit the horn into two notes using HELLA replacements. I want to say it was about $144 all said and done. Even if it isn't as loud as a proper 2 horn setup, the tone is so much better it doesn't matter. It is 1000x more commanding.
Pros: tone is much better
Cons: not as loud
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
