Good to hear you got it sorted, that bolt looks like one that would fasten pipework, or cabling to the engine covers or manifolds etc, see if you have any bolts missing around the air pump area and covers.

However, the last work at shop was replacing air pump, and I'm not sure if they disconnected the check valve at the time. But logically can't think of another time this would have occured.

Plugged the injector ports for now and it's seems good again.

So it's a weird one, still wondering what this bolt is. The head is smaller than one on pump bracket but when I get back to it again I will remove and check threads.

Thank you for help.

that looks like the bolt that holds the air pump on to the adjustment for the belt. The one on the pump looks new.

Don't think its big enough, its more likely one of the bolts that hold the pulley to the pump ?
