ARGHHHHHHH! I fucked up while installing a new timing chain tensioner on my 01 Jetta and dropped a nut inside the timing chain cover! I can't reach it at all, it's fallen straight down and the only way to remove the cover is to take the suspension and transmission off!
Any ideas on how I can remove the bolt out without having to take the whole damn thing apart? I was thinking of some way to get a small hose that has enough suction, what can I use for it?
magnet

Get one of those telescoping magnetic rods and see if you can fish it out with that

You seem to be in quite a pickle. You wouldn't happend to have a flexible stick with a metal attraction piece at the end?
become a mutant and hope you end up with magnetic powers.
or just a buy a new car that one is ruined.
Magnets are pretty useful.
/o/ is retarded, why hasn't anyone said magnet yet?
I think a magnet will work but I don't know
Just start the engine. It will spit out your nut by itself.
Trust me, I'm an engineer.
OP, similar story.

Try a telescopic magnetic. Worked for me.
Picture of solenoid.
it is possible that it fell all the way down to the oil pan
