You need an A1 radiator with the tab mounts and an expansion tank, I
think it might have to be an '83 or '84.
I just upgraded to a 675mm radiator in my '84 Scirocco, there is nothing
wrong with it and I'd sell it for $30.
I installed an '86 GLi radiator, fan w/shroud, the hoses and the harness
into my Scirocco. The bonus was that the A2 harness was plug 'n' play.

The only thing I had to drill was a hole for the passenger side lower
mounting peg.

The A2's use at least 2 different 2 speed fans and connectors.
