Default Horn replacement

2010 Limited Edition Aquarius Blue Coupe

I sadly needed to get minor body work on my boy blue after unable to dodge running over 18 wheeler tread debris. VW took my vehicle to their certified VW body shop. I picked up my boy Friday only to be disappointed to hear a squeeky week horn replacement NOT my original dual note macho horn. I am going back to the body shop tomorrow but want to know if there is s to is a part # or specific part name to replace the factory horn it originally came with.
Does anyone know? I have been unsuccessful in my online search. Thanks

I recently found this website, excellent for PN searches and super easy to use.

Volkswagen (VW) Parts | Jim Ellis VW Parts

I hope you find this helpful.

Just replace it with one of these:

I did and I like it I bet that one of your wires to one of your horns got torn when you hit the debris and maybe they only hooked up the whimpy one. This Wolo Bad Boy has two horns in one and will get attention. Most Walmart or Autoparts places carry it.

Those are pretty good horns. The quality has gone down hill a bit since Hella moved their manufacturing plant from Germany to India. But that way they can make them cheaper and still charge us more

They are like 52$ shipped now too woot woot. If you can find the right site that is. But I had the india ones I think and loved them. Went from my Subaru and now put them in my grandmas Ford Escape lol just cause I was driving that for awhile before my Beetle. But they are blue so can't put them on my beetle. Need a fresh Red set! And btw it was so fun to drive by and scare the daylights out of ppl! or just to scare them if you legitimately had to blow the horn at a light or something...haha good times
