You don't use timing lights on ur-quattros.  It's pointless, because
the ECU is always varying the timing.  Timing is set with the engine
at rest - a '0' on the flywheel (or very occasionally a l) is set
against a quadrant in the beel housing window.  The cam gear mark is set
against the cam cover, and the distributor marks are lined up.  End of
timing issue.
