Bolt broke off in the end of the camshaft, 2013 volkswagen mk6 gti.
I fked up. Was putting the cambridge back in and overtorqued this bolt, now it's broken in the camshaft. This bolt kept sliding and didn't reach the intended torque, and I was a little mindless, just went on thinking oh this will get torqued up.
It's my first time doing the VW 2.0T TSI timing job on mk6 gti. I didn't know that this m6 bolt needed to be replaced, so that's on me.
Just feel sad and blaming myself now...... any chance for me to get it out or do I need a new camshaft?
OR, CAN I LEAVE IT as is like this??? All I know is that it connects and holds the camshaft and the cambridge in place. I do worry about my cam flying out without this bolt but I need verifications, please.
