Hello Folks, Need help…. Sham mechanic installed and messed up my 2008 Toyota highlander water pump. Took to dealership to check when coolant seemed low: Here is what the dealership is saying. --Found drive belt soaked and coolant leaking from missing bolt. Also found 2 other aftermarket bolts in where water pump bolts into timing cover that are stripped out. The technician found that an attempt by other repair facility was made to repair one of the bolts by using tape. Three threads are now damaged. -- Correction is to replace timing cover. The total would be 3100.00
Is this the only options for securing three bolts on a water pump? The price seems to be quite high. Analysis and suggested solution please.
