i did buy it off ebay and i think it is the DIT9100. i got my timing settings from autodata and took the reading from #1 injector pipe as close as poss to the injector. i could take a reading off the same line but at the pump end to see if they brings my timing figures into line with yours.
That's kind of you. My light starts at 20 deg before TDC, and you then dial in towards TDC. It also had an input for a TDC probe that counts the timing lugs on the flywheel, which alas I don't have. Amazingly it also has inputs and outputs which are listed as 'not yet' in use :o
Did autodata give a figure for VW engines other than dial gauges?

yeah my light does the same. stats at 20 and then you work the way towards tdc. also shows the rpm which is useful. has some other inputs but ive not really looked to see what they are and  i doubt i would find the stuff now anyway. the autodata gave figures for dial guages (0.9 mm i believe) and figures for dynamic timing usind various makes of timing light
im off work on friday to do some tidying up of my arches and fit some wheel arch mouldings so will hook the timing light up at the pump end of line 1 and let you know the figure
