I don't think VW has ever used a torx style bolt head for CV joints.
Some models use allen heads, others use 12 point internal heads.
The pattern actually matches a 12pt 8mm box wrench.  The tool used for them
is called a triple square or serrated wrench.
Don't mean to nit-pick, just didn't want an inexperienced owner to put a
torx in their drive axle bolts and round 'em out.
