I have tried looking for other threads but not found any on this..... Can someone advise me of the screw type and size that is used to fasten the bracket to the Polo VW302 radiator.... is it a plastic selt tapper...?

Thanks in advance

John

Tinks, I used ordinary zinc plated self-tappers but make sure they are blind ended or cut the points off - just to make sure they don't go too far!

I tapped the holes M6 as they are a 5mm hole anyway. Fine if not done up too tight.

as above without the tap, I just wound in m6 bolts, It went in quite easy.

tapped M6 and screwed M6 studs in with threadlock

Tapped holes to 6mm and cut bolts to suit , if they are too long they will bottom out and probably break through.

There is a Merc A class airfilter mount which is a double ended M6 with an antivibration rubber bonded between. (basically an antivibration mout) this is what I've used. Works a treat.

Studs are the right length and you get anti-vib mounts too

Part number is on here somewhere.....

M6 for me too.

I had nothing the right size, so I ordered a set of the official self-tappers from VW. They had a full set for me the next morning, total cost was something like £1.80 ...
