Does anyone know the bolt size / length for the bolts that hold the neck that bolts to the water pump housing (sandwiching the thermostat)? I stripped mine and need to buy a helicoil kit...

TTT, I need to get the heli-coil kit so AV can have his 'Vert running again for the sunny weather down here!

TTT, help appreciated!

Again with the bumping.

any suggestions on where to look to find this even? one bolt's head is stripped off and the other is lost.... and I have no freaking clue where it was put.

Any help would be appreciated guys....

TTT, por favor. I'm not touching this car until I have solid info...

m8 x 1.25 sounds about right.

It'll really help if you can jack the engine up slightly and have a u-joint for your ratchet.&nbsp Jacking the engine up will allow you to access the bolts on the front edge a bit easier!

They are actually 6mm x 1.00.&nbsp All the 10mm bolt heads should be this thread pitch.

Isnt he talking about the two bolts on the water filler neck? They are 12mm I believe?

Oops, for some reason my mind was still thinking of the oil pan bolts from another thread.&nbsp Excuse the brain barf!

Hahaha, OK, now it's just mass confusion!

Even the dealer couldn't tell us what size the bolts were, Voges had to order them, so we'll find out in a few days...

Yes, we are talking about the two bolts that hold the filler neck on...
