Definitely check for a blown fuse. If not that, you’ll likely either have to live with it or consult a VW repair expert. It may be something simple.

Buy one of these and you can easily check those fuses without removing them.

Re: the comment that it doesn’t accelerate as fast as it used to, there seem to be a lot of comments on tdi-specific forums about turbocharger problems. You may want to check out a few of these sites for ideas. Simply google “1999 tdi turbocharger problems”. I got lots of “hits” specific to this problem.
