Wonder if anyone can help. I have a 99 b5 1.8 with the full dis. It occasionally throws a fit and beeps numerous times on and off during a journey but most of the time, it's on OK and the pixels aren't too bad. The past week however, it's been off altogether. No amount of fiddling with the stalk/reset etc will make it come to life. I've checked the fuses and connections on the back and all seem tight and ok. I've found numerous threads about failing pixels but none where the dis goes off altogether, no lights etc. I'm wondering if there is anything else I can do to see if I can make it work, it's a big miss not knowing how many miles are left in the tank etc. I don't have VAG-COM or anything like that. The rest of the instrument panel is fine, just the DIS.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer help.
