Broke Intake manifold bolt, can this be fixed?!
i was putting back together my 04 V and i was almos done with everything until i snapped the front left corner bolt on top of the manifold. So i took it all back off and used a reverse bit to try and remove the broken bolt, but that sucker is in there like swimwear. i cant take it out :/ so if any of u guys kno if i can just put som type of sealent around the manifold where the bolt is so i get no air leaks and just tighten the other ones real good?! let me kno your opinions thanks

if you snapped the head of the bolt off pull all the bolts out, take the intake off and you should be able to use vise grips on the bolt shaft and spin it out.
+100 on not using sealer and doing it right, vacum leaks will cause a lean condition and destory your motor from detonation
and invest in a inch pound torque wrench , lots of wrenching requires it on these cars.

I broke an intake bolt before not following proper procedure, and it was a bitch to fix. I got the bolt piece out, and did the proper method to installation. Fixed all my vacuum leak issues, as well.
Something is telling me... dude is gonna be coming back like "I used some black sealant, and it works great!"
2 weeks later, he comes back "guys I drove it around for a while while the RPM's raced up, and now I have a broken piston.... what gives?!!?!"
