8mm x 1.25 is the diameter and pitch.  i don't know for sure about the 2.1
but the 1.9 uses a combination of bolts and studs.  since the holes are
blind holes you probably want to get a bottoming tap to clean them up.
welcome to the list, i have a scirocco I also :).  as a matter of fact i
just towed a 81S to the junkyard tonight after parting it out.
