Has your golf been CLOCKED??? free ecu check for mark 4/5 golf

That is true, also there is no law to say you even have to have a mileage display in your car.
i change my mileage every day...to check my box before i go to work .....
It just nice to know the real mileage of your vehicle. ie, 56000 on clock. but its on 87000, then .ping goes cambelt.........
happends every day.
Be good

it is perfectly legal to put any mileage on your car as long as you tell any one who is buying it. so i heard

Yes i belive so, another piece of legislation that's about as useful as a chocolate fireguard

I pay per click and have this ad on most forums ic bmw/ crappy vauxhalls etc. but as i have just leased a new golf tdi   
I have taken to ths forum, I like it here , lots going on.
Google make a s**t lots of cash i pay them about £800 per month which is search and this sort of ads. but it does bring in about 10/15
calls a day from that source, so its not too bad.
I also do a lot of work for main dealers for an example i did a s reg golf a couple of weeks ago for sidlow WV, as the car went in
for a new cluster and the tech had put the mileage in as kilometers not miles so it came up 72000 not 44800miles, as they only get one
chance to enter mileage, it was either call us or pay out for a new cluster unit... so its not all about clocking
Regards as always

I'd be interested to know if you asked to see any sort of verification from the dealer confirming the correct mileage as 44800?

Hi. they had the old cluster unit ,which was broken. i didnt power it up to check . 100% legit job.  old golf customers car.
im doing an a class today with same problem, customer has second hand cluster unit and needs 90k put on it and merc wont touch it.

I would make better use of the cash anyway...

Just a quick question, why would anyone want to change the milage on their car for reasons other than trying to sell it caliming its done less miles that it has? I just cant see any other reason for it.

Because if you have to replace the clocks then the new/recon ones will have a different mileage recorded on them.  The mileage you see displayed on the digital display is stored in the clocks, not the ECU.

My VR6 displays 62K, but I know the clocks were replaced at 76K.  I have documentation to back that up, it was like that when I bought it. Doesn't bother me...  But obviously I could claim its only done 62K when selling, but I'm too honest for that!

Very good point, cheers Mooby.

forget about changing the dash bits, lets just say they're fine.

So.. why else would anyone want it changing?

Well to change the mileage for any reason other that would be bad, however I can understand why people may want to check if their car had been clocked and if so put it back to what it should display.

Thats right turbobeast. you can never be too carefull with the golf because of the high build quality its not easy to tell.
we had a passat with 132000 on it and the interior was like new just a few small scuffs here and there.
