Water pump change, rubber plug?

Post by frenchdave » Mon Mar 13, 2017 2:08 pm

Hi all, just changing a water pump after having done HG on a 2002 135 TF.

With the water pump I have received the large "O" ring rubber seal and a strange "U" shaped rubber plug that fits of a small outcrop of metal that seems to protect the "special" bolt on the water pump.

A photo of what I received can be seen here:

As you might have guessed, I'm not sure what to do with the small rubber plug, should it be fitted on the car or is it just for transport?

Thanks!
