Dahicori, now that I understand how that bar stock tool you have is intended to work for holding the crankshaft, I think it would do the job OK. It looks like you insert the bent section between two of the lugs in the pulley to hold it? And maybe rest the end of the bar against the ground or against the car's frame rail?

You could always give it a try, and if the tool is not strong enough and breaks, you don't have much to lose except for a few days of time waiting for a replacement. Audi TDI engine tools like the one linked in the post above are probably easily purchased on French Ebay as well. Just search for a timing belt tool kit for a 2.5L FIVE CYLINDER Audi or Volkswagen LT TDI engine (not the 2.5L V6 TDI which is different), or for a Volvo S70 or V70 2.5 TDI up to model year 2000. It should give you everything you need for the job except for the dial indicator and holder, which should be easy to find also, and a camshaft pulley counterhold tool and bent wrench like Volvo 9995199 and 9995201 which you should be able to easily improvise with modified standard hand tools.
