cam shaft sensor torx bolt torque specification?

Hello,

Replacing the camshaft sensor on a 2005 c230. It has 3 torx bolts which attaches to the front of the head. Does anyone know the torque specifications for these three retaining bolts? I've read several DIY but none specify the torque specification for these bolts.

Thanks in advance!

I guess you meant cam magnet, not cam sensor, isn't..?

ZAYED,,
Yes the cam magnet, thank you for the clarification.

Do you know the torque spec for reattaching it?

probably about 10-12nm. I'd just snug it up, they don't need to be that tight.

Says 8 Nm.
Generally it is not a good idea to overtorque these since the engine block is made of aluminum.
