MY diagram says 10Nm but I only count 9 bolts
Out of interest have you taken the coverof yourself
I was looking to do this over the weekend but couldnt get to the middle rear bolt with the tools I had
The rear right bolt I would have needed to take the ERG valve off
Think I need to change my Injector harness

Hi Mixxy
Thanks for the torque setting.
Two things to be aware of.
1) Audi only sell a new rocker cover with gasket. The original rocker cover is no longer manufactured.
2) It is possible to reuse the original gasket, but you do need to be carful when taking of and putting back. The back bolt is difficult and I needed to turn the EGR slightly towards the screen after taking two bolts off. There is very limited space there but you should be able to get to it. Just make sure you do get to tighten it when replacing as mine leaked after initial go.
Hope this helps
