Bit confused as to what jetta you actually referring to, because a jetta 3 was last produced in 1999.

2006 would be a mk5.

Going to be difficult to diagnose what is wrong as to why there is only spark at cylinder 1 and not the rest, because a 2006 model didn't have a distributor, but had a coil pack and used a magnetic pickup to distribute spark.
