My odometer on my car stopped working about a year ago and I had to take it it to get it fixed. It was covered under warranty and everything but they put a brand new one in so now it reads like 14k plus miles when the car should be closer to 91k miles (i know the exact mileage but i dont feel like doing the math). Is there any way to fix the odometer and have it rolled to where it should be?

 

if you find out let me know cause i got the same prob

 

anyone have any suggestions?

 

call honda service and ask?

 

why in the world would you want to roll your odometer forward?

I'm not sure about your accord, but on a ~90 civic the speedo/odometer has a cable that goes into the tranny. It hooks into a removable gear type device that holds the cable and spins it according to the transmission speed. So if you take out that cable and hook it up to a drill you can add some miles. Although it would work I think it would take ages and a lot of drills to get to 91k.

I would just leave it, and if u are trying to sell your car fairly then get an invoice from the dealer with the origional miles at the time of change.

 

Yeah, if you ever sell just tell them about the problem and be honest. Not too terribly hard!

 

:werd:

 

i just thought that in the future if i ever decided to sell the car it would be easier rather than explaining it. i have all the proper paperwork regarding the miles so that isnt a problem. oh well i guess i'll just live with it
