91 318i, replacing water pump.
Somehow when removing the top driver side bolt on the water pump the threads stripped. I was able to get all 3 other bolts in and this one just turned loosely.
I tried the bright idea of using a different threaded bolt of approximately the same size, hoping it would bite into the bad threads.
Well it did, and upon tightening it, the bolt snapped in half.
Think it'll be alright with just the three bolts?
