Did you bleed the injectors, water separator. fuel filter. Is the fuel pump running. A Chilton manual would be a handy trouble shooting guide. Diesel fuel injection is complicated and expensive ( Bosch).

My 2002 vw jetta diesel tdi had a recent oil change and I just checked the oil and it is way high. If I drive it will it mess the car up? I have driven it already but I'm really worried.

If it is grossly overfilled it can damage the engine as well as **** oil into the air cleaner and then the engine, on a diesel this can cause a run away engine because a diesel will burn the oil like fuel.

My 2001 volkswagon diesel engine locked up after revving all the way up for no reason and the mechanic i talked to said it might be a timing problem do i need a new engine

if it does not turn over you may have seized the engine, so in answer to your question is yes..
it is usually cheaper to replace your engine then to rebuild existing....

2000 Jetta TDI: How do I change spark plugs on 2000 VW jetta 2.0...

You're in the TDI (diesel) solutions section so it uses glow plugs.
If it's a petrol engine 2.0L then it would be accessible above and below intake manifold using a swivel spark plug deep socket.

2000 VW Jetta TDI when starting vibrates (felt under the break pads) and a really rough sound when starting and turning the engine off. I have had people tell me that this could be due to timing...

It sounds like a diesel.. They vibrate like ****, it's just what diesel's do. . Otherwise I'd check engine mounts, if they are worn, then the engine could be sitting down on the frame of the car making you feel ALL of the vibrations.

My diesel engine on my VW TDI Jetta is having a hard time turning over. It takes forever to start and seems to be getting worse.

Have someone replace your fuel filters ($$$) and put a bottle of "Lucas Diesel Additive" available at Advance Auto Parts $8
P.S. If you have PREMIUM Diesel available in your area (BP-Chevron) run that for a couple of tanks.
Good Luck
