So i decided to get some preventative maintenance and go ahead and change all of my pulleys and belt. Pretty simple job right....so i didnt think someone could fuck this up so i brought my car to a local shop to get it done. In the process one of the mechanics told me I was missing a bolt from my power steering pump but no worries he has a spare, so i didnt think twice about it. A couple months down the road I started to eear this knocking noise upon start up and the idler tensioner starting to squeal like a pig after 1500 rpms...not sexy. I figured it was the tensioner so i replaced it but a month later the same symtoms came back. I had just got jb4 downpipes dci Backend flash running e40 with a shit load of maintanence to make my car run like it was fresh from the factory. On the first pull in map 5 after all of the installa the belt popped causing the alternator to stop charging, the power steering to stop pumping fluid etc etc...this is the pic of the bolt that mechanic put in, and it seems like the thread might be fucked so i may have to get a new oil pan if the original bolt doesnt fit anymore. The labor and oil pan will cost me almost 2k😪 The shop offered to fix it but i refuse to let them touch my car again because it wasnt the first time they fucked me.

I tried that one but unfortunately they said they cant warrant someone else work, it has to be done by there shop...I spoke to a few mechanics and it might not be all that bad because i maybe able to use a thread locker on the new bolt if the threads are slightly damaged.

That's why I sold JB4, too much work/headache
