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.

If you replace the entire cluster, which includes the odometer (?), wouldn't this alter the mileage, for better or worse, of the car?

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I saw a full used instrument cluster sell for $610 on E-bay a few days ago. If you replace the entire cluster, which includes the odometer (?), wouldn't this alter the mileage, for better or worse, of the car? Can the car computer and ultimately the service department detect this swap? <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33675&item=2410659094&rd=1" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33675&item=2410659094&rd=1</a>

POST 2Original post

I saw that as well. I was under the impression that the mileage is in the brain box, not the cluster.

POST 3Original post

The cluster must be reprogrammed for your car by a dealer.

POST 4Original post

The mileage is in the cluster. So, if you bought that cluster off of ebay and plugged it into your car you will see whatever is stored in the used cluster. I bought a used 996 cluster off of ebay to put in my Boxster so I could have the 2 additional gauges. When I plugged in the 996 cluster it showed 990 miles but my car has 45k miles. A used cluster will also have the VIN for the car it came from. So, if the ebay cluster is in your car the dealer can hook up the PST2 and read the VIN to see if it matches your car. When the dealer programs a new cluster they enter the VIN for your car into the new cluster with the PST2. Jeff

POST 5Original post

Funny coincidence, i just saw now a 2000 C2 with white dial clusters here.. had 4500km on the reading. I was wondering how come and i read this post! Now i know! Waz

POST 6Original post

Does this cluster has anything to do with programing immoblizer codes ? or the immoblizer is programmed in diffrent place (ECU or what so ever?)

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
