The 1996 Volkswagen Jetta with a 2.0L engine typically uses VW G 052 162 A2 transmission fluid for its automatic transmission. It's essential to check the owner's manual for specific requirements or consult a professional, as using the correct fluid is crucial for optimal transmission performance and longevity. For manual transmissions, a different fluid may be recommended, often a 75W-90 gear oil.
Manual or Automatic?
To add fluid to your Volkswagen Jetta's automatic transmission, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is running. Locate the transmission fluid dipstick, usually found near the back of the engine bay. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, then remove it again to check the fluid level. If needed, use a funnel to add the appropriate type of transmission fluid through the dipstick tube until it reaches the proper level. Always consult your owner's manual for specific fluid type and capacity.

I've also just found more about it at: http://www.germanautoparts.com/Volkswagen/Jetta/Steering Hope that helps!
