Sorry about the torx mix-up.  Basically it was a nomenclature thing.  That is
what I called them because I had no clue what the name of it was.  I should've
said, "Internally wrenching, 12 point, fastener".
When we first started working on VWs years ago my Dad and I kept stripping
these out thinking they were allens.  They get so dirty inside that a lot of
times you can't tell unless you scrape all the gunk out with a pick (which is
something that I do everytime now and sometimes they still strip even when
using the proper tool.  Oh well that is what vice grips are for.)
Have fun.
