eek help! I just did my cambelt, straightforward enough, but I can't have done the crankshaft bolt ( the 6 sided one) up to the full torque, cos it came loose after about 20km, and in so doing the locating key on the cambelt sprocket got flogged out.  Anybody have anyidea where I could source a s/h sprocket?

Use lock tight on the bolt and do it up really tight. Its best to do with a bar somehow jamming the flywheel, often has that bung you can remove and jam the flywheel teeth. You can just use a rattle gun but becareful as the VW pullys are quite brittle and can crack if you rattle too hard.
The end is nigh, but the end of what is the question?
