I have misplaced one of the bolts for my water inlet housing on my n/a. It is from the left side of the housing. I was curious to see if anyone knew the size and everything of that bolt. Coolant is leaking out without that bolt. Thanks!

take the one you have to a hardware store and match it up to another

The problem with that is that there are only two other nuts, not bolts. There is only one bolt on that mofo. I did figure out that it was stripped, and a rethreader fixed it up nicely.

Those are the kind of bolts and things you order just so you don't have to use threadlocker on that shite because the coolant will eat it out and you have only
masked the problem. If the threads are stripeed tap and die it to a standard size.

If the bolt was thrashed they cost like 5 bucks for 6 of them from the dealer.
It's dimes and nickles on these cars in some scenarios that provide the owner with sleep filled nights.
