Starter ampage

[Marmalade67]

Needing to replace ring connector to solenoid but what amp is required.

[bigherb]

Ring connectors are rated by the mounting screw hole size and the mm2 of the cable. And that depends on which cable and the year and type of engine.

[Rosie n' Jim]

As above, but won't exceed the CCA rating of the battery,  which will give you a guide value.

According to the V.A.G. service manual, relating to a 1984 DG vehicle :-
The red/black wire to the solenoid is 4mm²

I suspect the eyelet will have a 6mm hole through it, and should be rated for a 4mm cable.

For info,
The red wire directly from the battery is 35mm²,
And there is a 6mm² red wire to the main black junction box stud.
Both are linked or attached to the starter with 8mm eyelets.
And at the junction box it is a 8mm eyelet for the 6mm² cable.
