How to reel the mileage
You bought a new speedometer on your car. But there is one problem - the mileage. To avoid confusion, you need to correlate the odometer reading. Odometers are of two types: mechanical and electronic.
Instructions
1
The first and easiest way to wind the mileageon a mechanical odometer is as follows. Raise on the jack the leading bridge of the car (forward, back). Start the engine, then speed. The wheels will spin, which means that the mileage will be reeled in until you stop the engine. Provided that your car is all-wheel drive, you have to raise the jack on both bridges.

A simpler step is to connect the cableSpeedometer to the motor, for example, from the car heater (wipers). Wind the desired mileage, install a new speedometer and connect the cable back to the instrument panel. Models of machines with a mechanical odometer: Moskvich 401, 402, 403-408, 412, etc., VAZ (2101-2115), BMW 3 Series (E-21), BMW 5 Series (E-12 ), Audi 80, 90, 100, 200, and so on.

With electric odometers, things are more complicated. You will need to disassemble the processor of the account of indications. Buy a special programmer and connect a processor to it. Specify the value that you need. You can specify the distance to the nearest meter. Then solder the processor.

More modern cars are equipped and moreReliable protection of electronics. The first trip of the odometer can cause an error in the electronics. To eliminate this error, a very good specialist is needed. If you come to the maintenance center, a scan of the machine on the diagnostic computer will immediately reveal the date of intervention in the indications and the previous value. The mileage will be considered invalid, and you can be brought to administrative responsibility. Electronic odometers are installed on such machines as: Subaru Impreza, Outback, Forester; Mitsubishi L200, Toyota Avensis, Toyota Mark 2, Mitsubishi Pajero (III, IV, V), Mitsubishi Lancer (VIII, IX, X), etc.
