Default Bolt replacement when fitting new water pump?

It seems that it is recommended to replace the bolts when replacing the water pump on 850. Can anyone tell me if this is advisable and if so why?

If the heads and threads are undamaged, and they aren't badly rusted or rated as stretch bolts, then replacement isn't necessary

That's what I thought and I cannot imagine they are stretch bolts.

Just use some screw lock on them, I think that's the only reason they say use new ones which are already treated.

If using a thread lock product I would recommend a lower toque type as: ~
https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p3...duct_info.html

Others are available from this company- medium-Low-High etc. a lower strength is perfectly adequate to hold these studs and more importantly easier to remove, high strength when used properly can be very difficult and you may just be the poor s--- who has to tackle it!
Trust it helps.
