If I change the speedo cluster in my RX8 will the miles change depending which cluster I put in? or will it stay the same?

did anyone try doing that? or any ideas?

I might need to change the speedo cluster as somehow its been damaged..
(got smashed with steering wheel lock ) lol

 

Mileage is stored in the ECU, so no, replacing the cluster would not affect the total mileage shown.

 

thanks for your reply.

Is it same for the JDM ones?

Thanks again.

 

mileage is actually stored in a can module in the dash. to get this done right you need to be at a dealer who can do the proper sequence with his diagnostic tool

 

oh.. i currently have 7000Km on the clock but this new cluster has 20000 on it.. so im sort of worried about what to do..

 

Pay somebody to dial it back for you. You're doing nothing wrong. DO NOT take your car in for service until you fix this, otherwise carfax will find inconsistency in your mileage history and flag it with odometer tampering.

 

uh, dude's in New Zealand, i don't think they have CarFax there...

 

Thanks for the info. yea we dont have Carfax but we have something of our own.. =) i will get it fixed before i get the car serviced. i might try Mazda dealer first.!
