This thread finaly got my attention
Vanagon horn is barely audible, comparable to
...old bycicle horn
Anyone driving Vanagon and wants to be heared needs to get REAL horn.
Among cheapest options(one i use) Audi 5000 twin hi-lo horn, mounts same
way.
the only catch is need for heavier wire to horn thru relay
There are plenty of other options at FLAPS, any of those would be
great improvement
