You said: "I was about to install a set of these today, replacing a set of
Magnecor wires, but they didn't want to go onto the plugs. I decided to
err on the side of caution and not force the issue. Eyeballing the two
sets of wires, the terminals on the Bosch wires look a bit smaller than
the ones on the Magnecors. I tried removing one of the little screw-on
terminals from a plug and putting a Bosch plug wire on it (off the
car), and it seemed to go on OK. Can someone confirm that this is the
way to go? Thanks."


Others have answered your question well, but let me make a comment.  My 
experience of 33 years in the trade has led me to avoid Bosch wires for most 
applications.  Stock Audi wires are Beru or Bremi.  In fact, stock wires on 
Porsches are, too.  They're FAR better.  I realize you've already made the 
purchase, but it's something to remember down the road.  John
