Default Broken bolt.

I was putting an E-series fan belt protector thingy on my car and Ive broken the bolt on the waterpump (I think). Anyone got any ideas?

Must have been an allergic reaction by the AU "No e-series parts, pleeeaaaase"! LOL

You will have to get a mobile mechanic out (or get yourself to a mechanic) and they should be able to extract the remaining bolt bit and put a new (whole) bolt in.

All fixed. $80 for removal of snapped bolt, and $2 for 2 new set screws.
