Found Big bolt in right wheel arch

[Wiking]

Hi
Just checked few things and then found big bolt near the right fog light. I compared this one to the square mount bolts but this one is bigger. Still don't know from where it come. Only know that it from the right engine bay side. Checked all bolts that support the engine mount and everything is ok there. So from where could be this one ?
Help...

sorry but pic will be tonight because of camera.
The bolt is: 5/8 and about 3 cm long.
I'm afraid that he snaped somewhere in timinig area. Did timing+Aux blet+waterpump 2 months ago.

if its 5/8 thats a 16 so indecates a cambelt cover bolt.

Yes, I tried it with 5/8 socket and it fitting exactly. So, the garage that changed me timing 2 months ago, didn't screw it right. Nice, tomorrow they going to fix it for free

Sorry guys but this bolt isn't a timing cover bolt. This bolt support the arm mount thast come from the alternator+compressor+starter steel stand. It sits just near the knock sensor and a little upper then oil filter.
In garage they apologized for the mistake. Mechanic that did the work of timing, first said that this bolt doesn't have any relation to timing but after he found where it supposed to be he said that may be he forgot to tight it.
So, now the problem in that thread disappeared:dapprove: .

I know the bolt he means, but it does actually go though the belt cover.
