Doc, how can you tell that someone isn't simply trying to 'clock' their car?  Also, I have already done 4.5k miles in my Mk5 GTI and need to set it back to zero.. can you help me?  :evil: :laugh: :grin: :drool:

Doc, I just did a search on digital mileage correction on google and I am really really shocked  :shocked:  I didn't know that it was so easy to clock a digital odometer... I am planning to buy a Mk4 Golf GTI Anniversary for my wife - or a Lupo GTI  :evil: - but how would I tell that some sneaky t055er hasn't clocked the car using one of these services?  Is it traceable ?  Especially with a fairly new car - I mean I could do 40k on my Mk5 GTI in a year and reset everything to around 18k.. how can people tell?

Only if you need a replacement dash due to failure - in which case the supplying dealer would program.

There was a feature on this in a national paper recently, and it highlighted the poor folk as pikey scum and essentially called them fraudsters. They called out these fellas (ads in loot etc) and had their sample car clocked on several occasions.

Now, thats a bit strong, there is a market and technically it is legal.... But of course we all know most people use these services for none legit reasons......

And a nice little earner too...

Goes against my grain though... hence I keep quiet... been biting my tongue, but it started to hurt.... :sad:
