my pixels on my instrument cluster were burning out, so the dealer ordered a new cluster. well last night i dropped it off for service.

well they put in the new cluster, and my mileage on it went from 16,900 to 29,116.

any ideas on why? they cant figure it out so right now my mileage is reading at 29k, and yesterday when i dropped it off it read at 16k.....

i got it back and theyre gonna try to figure it out, ordering a new cluster to try it again. the dealer said when they put in the new cluster it automatically jumped to 29k. :angry:

any thoughts???

The dealer have to read out the old cluster, before removing, with the PIWIS tester and read in the new cluster after installing.
