Use exactly the weight recommended by VW. The brand is your choice.
The only oil that meets VW standards for the 2.0 engine is the 5W-40 synthetic oil # G 052 167 A2.......
No. The only compressor that will fit your 2000 Jetta is one with the same part number as your current one. They are completely engine-specific.
...on the very bottom of the engine block.
I am an owner of a 2000 Jetta and I've wondered the same thing...as far as I can tell by the owner's manual the Jetta does not use "power steering" fluid it uses "hydraulic" fluid (Pentosin CHF 11S Synthetic to be exact). I've also just found more about it at: http://www.germanautoparts.com/Volkswagen/Jetta/Steering Hope that helps!
There are 4 different engine options can you be a little more specific?
