Default a3 axle bolt torque difference

I just purchased a used 2006 a3, and I am replacing the old 6 pt axle bolts (27mm) with new 12 pt axle bolts (i believe 24mm).

Could someone help me out with the torque specs for the 12pt axle bolts?

I would also like some recommendations for a good owners manual for this car. A lot of people say Bentley's, but I'm curious about my options....

axle NUT. My repair place says there is no torque difference between 6pt and 12pt, but i read elsewhere that there is. The repair place also wonders why i would replace the 6pt with 12pt axle nuts. Can someone shed some wisdom?
