    Water pump hose bracket left behind

    Hey folks,
    I have just finished installing a new water pump on my 130 300tdi.
    I have just realised that I have left behind the bracket for the coolant hose that bolts into the water pump. 🤦
    I am worried that loosing back the bolt holding the pump will effect the seal since it will uneven the torque applied to the casing.
    I am sure that i am not the only one who done it haha, what is your experience?
    Cheers

    Take the belt off to remove the tension across the front, remove the bolt, fit the bracket and retorque.

    Thanks Tombie,
    Did it happen to you as well in the past?
    Would you re-torque just the bolt or all of them?

    Just gently check the torque on the rest.
