Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

A simple calculation using an average speed and the'll be able able to see if there is a massive discrepancy between the odometer reading and the calculated mileage.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

You can cheat the odometer by taking out the fuse, but your dealer can download from the ecu the total number of hours the car has been in use. A simple calculation using an average speed and the'll be able able to see if there is a massive discrepancy between the odometer reading and the calculated mileage. They will not notice the odd couple of thousand miles missing though !!

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I see v interesting.. can the ECU can be reset too??

POST 3Original post

A good point to remember when on the market for a 968 then

POST 4Original post

You should never take the recorded mileage as gospel truth anyway, even if it is backed up by MOTs or service history. My next door neighbour a few years ago always ran his cars for half the year with the speedometer disconnected. Bastard, I say Seems like theft to me.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

When I owned a 968 Sport (M reg) a few years ago I had some sort of short and blew the fuse which controls the sunroof (don't have the manual anymore so can't say which from memory). I subsequently discovered that the speedometer and odometer stopped working too. As I was on a long journey I didn't attend to replacing the fuse until I got home. As the odometer is analogue the milage I drove that day wasn't recorded! Do Porsche realise that one could drive around NOT clocking up miles until the fuse is replaced? Is there a secondary odometer hidden somewhere we don't know so the correct milage can be verified?
