(looking at distributor firing order)
cylinder number one is the one closest to the timing belt.from the timing belt to the distributor side the cylinders go in the following order.1234
When standing on the passanger side looking at the distributor the top right plug is cylinder one (the cylinder closest to the distributor). The top left plug on the distributor is cylinder two. The bottom left plug is cylinder three. Finally the bottom left plug is cylinder four (the cylinder furthest from the distributor, closest to the timing gear). Hope this helps.
1,3,4,2 Number one is at timing cover closest to the distributor.
Number 1 is the cylinder closest to the timing belt. Mind you: Cylinder #1 is not the first cylinder to fire in the firing sequence.

Yes the rotor should be pointing to the #1 cylinder when you are installing the distributor.
the cylinder closest to timing belt, or passenger side according to vw site elsewhere.
Number one chamber is the one closest to the distributor or crank angle sensor, number two is closest to the firewall. T is top and trailing, L is lower and leading. On the distributor cap the holes are marked L1-L2 etc.
To set distributor timing on a VS 96 Golf 2.0, hook the timing gun up to the power. Ground the terminals on the battery and hook the sensor that accompanies the timing gun to the number one cylinder spark plug wire.

Distributor timing is adjusted by rotating the distributor. A scan tool is required to put the engine computer in distributor sync mode. The distributor is then set to zero degrees.
