6mm2 ? sounds a bit heavy for a trigger wire. 50A rating?
Can't get at my van at present to see what wire we are talking about!

crimp size looks about right

6mm2 because of volt drop, it's 4mm2 from ignition switch to fusebox



other size for reference..

You have an advantage - you have a fuse box there and know which pin we are talking about! That makes it a little easier.
Are we there now?

I think so, this list really needs to be in Wiki....

Yes I'd thought terminal 50 was normally 4mm, but sure enough I've a T3 dash harness here and it's 6mm. For removing the 3.5mm sockets, I use a short bit of radio antenna tube. For the 1.6mm sockets, I have a VW VAS1978/8 tool (on loan..), which has a central plunger which pushes the termnal out of the housing. There is a current Span-on version (as part of a set at least), and may be others that work.
PS. If anyone reading this has used the Laser 4323 tool set for these I'd be interested to hear.

according to the factory wiring manual, the starter trigger is 6,0 mm2 (D24 pin at the fuse panel) and the ingnition switch side is 4,0 mm2 (B8 pin at the fuse panel)

The proprietary terminal removal tools are dashed expensive what!

I've ordered the connectors so fingers crossed. Thanks so much for all the time and effort I really appreciate it! Hope other people benefit from the expertise here as well as me!
