I don't have the data, it's missing from my copy of the manual, but, looking at similar bolts in the timing case area on my OM606, I would be amazed if the torque spec for these M6 bolts is too far away from 10 Nm.

Having said that, when I re-fitted my vacuum pump some 30,000 miles ago, I just tightened them up by feel.

Have a look here;

This calculator is quite useful - for a grade 8.8, M6 fastener, it does end up estimating approximately 10Nm.
