ross Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Just picked up my 6 sp tt at the weekend. The guy who imported it told me that that the car had done 88 000 kilometers as indicated on the dash (about 53,000 miles apparently). But he told me that the mileometer was now counting in miles because thats the way its done these days. He also said that I would be able to find someone quite easily who could change the readout to reflect the true mileage. Anyone got any thoughts on this? I thought it was illeagal to change the speedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I know someone who can do it, not sure if they want to offer the service though as it leads the door open to people falsifying their mileage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supRo Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 With a Thor convertor you have the option to have the ODO to carry on in KM or miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 JIC (as was) 'clocked' mine as soon as it was over here and sorted for UK. The original kilometer mileage was changed to the equivelent mileage during de-limit and conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 There's still a few people arouind that will do this, try a search here As far as I'm aware it's illegal. Its one of the reasons I kept mine clocking up in Km, at last then there's less question over the cars real mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jacksupra Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 its not illegal to "clock" a car... its only illegal if you guarantee the mileage when you sell the car.. however im looking for a person to do mine as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
