I'm going to be changing the front and rear pads and discs later this week and I can't find a specific value for the carrier to hub bolts. There should be 2 holding it in. one at the top and one at the bottom?

Vex182 is still an active member so even tho that’s for an S3, a pm might get you more info if you still need it for your car, as he seems to know where to look!

Just tighten it when it will just be hard to turn .. No need exact you not have space rocket ship or submarine where it is really required..
I've seen that 200NM figure quoted in a lot of places - I can't deny that. But it is very tight and I've never worked on another car (BMWs included) that have necessitated the carrier bolts being tightened that much. When I removed my OE fitted discs to replace, they were nowhere near that torque. 200NM is so tight that you would struggle to untighten with a 24 inch breaker bar and would need a commercial windy gun or scaffold bar extension on the breaker bar.
