i never used a torque wrench when changing the oil in my 12v.
spanner to remove the filter cover, torx bit to remove the sump nut.
then the same torx bit to replace the nut, i just tightened it until it was tight and then put the filter cover on by hand

i thought that the 12v and 1.2 16v were exactly the same apart from the missing cylinder on the 12v.
