WTF! Has anyone ever seen this?
I got my hands on a CLK cluster to put into my c240. After I took the stock cluster out to measure what needed to be modified to get the CLK cluster to seat properly. I re-installed the stock cluster. My mileage went from this



TO THIS




How the heck did that happen and how do I fix this? The mileage is tracking so if I continue driving will it start from zero again?

When swapping instrument clusters, I think you need programming done... did you plug in the CLK cluster at all? If you did, it may have read the milage off the cluster and overwrote the milage written in your computer.... or something?

haha look into that cause that would be so crazy if MB said "wow you drove the car around so much and showed that the c-class can handle it that we will take this car for you to display is super strength and reliability" and give you a really give you a w204 haha then that would be one mod everyone would want to do

To tell you the truth, I wouldnt even bother fixing it. You can go down with the most miles on a w203. As a matter of fact see if you can trade it in or sell it with that many miles. You maybe surprise it might be a collectable

Easy. Put the car on jack stands, place trans in reverse, and put a brick on the accelerator pedal.
