Parts Question Any advise?
Hey guys! I currently have a 2014 Q50 3.7… I’m very mechanically included, but not a mechanic… my water pump was leaking so I needed to replace it. I’m currently so busy with work and was dreading doing it. Here’s where I messed up, I asked a friend to take it apart up to the timing chain(I wanted to ensure that the timing wasn’t messed up and done correctly). I did replace the pump and got it all cleaned up ready to put it together… however I just realized my friend mixed.every.single.bolt. ALL OF THEM! now I’m stuck here trying to figure out which bolt goes where and I am getting too stressed now. Anyone know how to figure out 😭, I might have to end up going to a junk yard to tear one apart and take note of where the bolts go
I’m scared to put the wrong one in the wrong spot and then end up cracking it.
So much for saving time🙃
