Cube action team hybrid 160, 2021, motor bolt torque

[Out and about]

Hi,
Does anyone know the correct torque for the motor bolts. That is the torx bolts, motor to frame bolts.
I have found a figure of 20nm for the BDU 450 CX motor 2020. BoschAE_HB2020_UK by Bosch eBike Systems - issuu

I need the torque for the Bosch Drive Unit Performance CX Generation 4, 2021.

Many thanks in advance.

See post #71 for the outcome and the proper bolt torques

6nm for the small bolts that hold the plates onto the motor, 11nm for the larger bolts that go through the frame into the plates/motor

Just an FYI, the bolts are Torx+, not regular torx.

I remember a guy on facebook bragging about that his dealer went up to 60nm on those things when asked for the same advice/the same question... but when I asked a video of it and post it here it got all quiet...
