Timmy511 Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 i did a cam belt change on my 200tdi ibex today, its very nearly complete bar from filling it with water. when i put the water pump back on one of the bolts wouldnt torque up (the bottom one) and just span round, so im pretty sure its nackered. is the water pump likely to leak from the gasket and into the timing case? or will one bolt not cause much effect? if it does leak what the best way to repairing the thread without stripping the whole lot down? cheers, Tim.

western Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Try a new bolt first if that doesn't hold then probably best to repair it, I'd suggest a suitable helicoil insert & new bolt. Quote
