Is there anything that IS safe when the glow plugs are still working ?   

  It much more of an issue of WORKING vs safety.  Ether simple doesn't 
work (in my experience) when you use glow plugs and possibly a heat 
grid.  It expands too much before ignition is needed and grunts the 
starter to a halt.  
  Simply undo the power line either at the blade fuse or where it connects 
to the buss.  Just don't let it hang and short if you do it at the buss.

  Audi 5000 D has two and it seems like one under the dash, one on a fender.
Too much trouble to put them together I guess.  At least I know i've seen 
that 
on one anyway!  
  Yours should be on the firewall, just to the driver's side of center unless 

for some reason they changed the location in the 90's.  If you stil have 
the cover on it (kinda rare) then it's a black box, about 1/2" thick and 2" 
tall, 
2 1/2" wide.  Follow the glow plug wire.  :-)
