Couple of days back, Phil Payne posted this to the UK owners club forum :
=====
The microfiche contains a specific note:
"Aus Sicherheitsgründen hat die Zündspule eine 5,5 mm Öffnung mit
Verschlußstopfen. Sie dient dazu, die Vergußmasse der Zündspule im Falle
eines Schaltdefektes im TSZ-Hall-Schaltgerät gezielt austreten zu lassen."

http://www.isham-research.com/quattro/wiring/Typ85/mac01pin.html states:

"Only original Audi ignition coils should be used - the primary resistance
and the 5.5 mm safety valve opening are unique to the WR/WX ur-quattro."
