Owner reviews for horn

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.

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.

On my 2012 Volkswagen Passat s it had a high and a low horn. I ended up added 2 high and 2 low horns. Every time I honked it at someone it scared the living daylights out of them.

That's where I got my new horn from, very reasonable price for a new original VW part!

In installed these FIAMM 74100 horns on my son's 337. They are less that $20 on Amazon and work great. You need to make a jumper wire to go from the connector to the horn, but only for the +12v connector since the mounting bolt provides grounding.

I put a Bosch horn from a '68 Mercedes 250SE in my Rabbit. Sounds like an "old" car and has a unique awesome tone. I used the lo-tone one (bought the pair) and sold the other Bosch hi-tone on eBay for $115 They cost me $6 for the pair at a junkyard; got lucky.

Fiamm Freeway Blaster Horn #3830. This horn generates a shattering 132 decibels and will likely get just about anybody’s attention. I had two of these horns on my old '79 street Rabbit.

i put in a FIAMM from a 90s saab 9000 and its way loud now.

AWFUL. I have one. Bought it two years ago, 2011 Jetta 2.5SE (had 14k on it when I bought it) and its the worst car I have ever driven. I needed to get something quick because my truck was on its way out, this was cheap figured why not save on gas and try it out. Man, I cannot begin to explain to you how badly I have regretted this. 20k Horn Blew out and needed to be replaced 25k Radio blew out, needed to be replaced 30k AC Compressor stopped working and needed to be replaced. 40k Rear right window motor stopped working and needed to be replaced. Couldn't rotate the tires due to them wearing down weirdly and when rotated would cause a vibration. No matter what they did. Everything Rattles, and when I say everything, I mean, EVERYTHING. This will be my last VW ever, worst purchase I have ever made. Just leased a new GC and will be trading this in and never looking back. STAY AWAY.

On Thanksgiving vacation so finally got a chance to search the Phaeton forum about the weak sounding horn I have on mine. I see that others have had the same experience. I must resolve this because well...frankly the sound of the horn is embarrassing to say the least, not to mention unsafe. Beautiful big car with beep-beep horn?? My VW Golf has a horn that sounds much more manly than my Phaeton, LOL!
