Default Twelve point drive axle flange torque for the quattro

Can someone verify if the torque for the 6 twelve point (triple square) bolts for a 2007 Audi A3 3.2 Quattro are the same as a regular A3? From what I see, it looks like it is 30 ft/lbs.

I am a bit confused by the axle torque settings also. 180nM + 1/2 turn to set the bolt, then loosen and set to 98 ft/lbs? or pull the 1/2 turn back?

Thanks

If anyone is interested, I found the torque spec in the Audi A3 Quick Reference Specification Book (http://blogvager.files.wordpress.com...a3_qsb_web.pdf)

70Nm (if I read it correctly)
