Don't know the size but I bought one from VW for a few quid, turned out to be the wrong one (too small) and did not screw into the bracket so I used thread lock (Slick still has plenty) and a nut that fitted, seems to be holding... Just call VW and ask for the two different size bolts for the alternator bracket that hold the alternator on.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
