I am about to order in a new water pump from Rimmer Bros and I would like to replace the bolts at the same time. Rimmer Bros' website is excellent but they do not sell a bolt kit for the water pump. I emailed them and asked them to help me get the correct bolts using my VIN and they emailed back with the following:

6x 4378449 Screw (M6 x 25mm)
1x FS108256 OE*Screw (M8 x 25mm)

I checked RAVE and it says there are 9 bolts in total holding the water pump. The total number of bolts above is only 7. Can anyone confirm which bolts I need and how many of each?

What RB have told you is correct according to Microcat. However, from memory, there was another couple of longer bolts that go through the waterpump, through the timing cover and into the block.

They were a non metric size I think - 2 1/4 or 3 inches long.

Ask the question of RB again.

I've found the relevant page on Microcat, and they are:

BOLT, FLANGED HEAD, 5/16UNC X 2 1/8 FB505171S
BOLT, FLANGED HEAD, 5/16UNC X 3 FB505241S

But I can't remember which size of those two filled the two extra holes.
