True milage
Hi
Is there a way to find out true milage of a w211? I know the odometer has been tampered with. Official Export documents from auction shows higher km reading than actual displayed in car.

Then that's the actual mileage. Going from memory the mileage is stored in the instrument cluster ECU and CGW. If all 3 numbers don't agree than the odometer in the cluster just displays - - - - - -

Central Gateway (CGW). Look it up in STAR. I've posted on this before. Very nice feature to find what maintenance has been logged into the system. Provides days from initial activation plus mileage and days from last service.

It seems the trickiest is to change odometer and eis or make odometer read new value from eis. What I've read you must either have a can blocker in eis or de-solder eeprom.
Anyone here actually done it?

Mackhack or BenzNinja can do it but they are people who I regard as professional technicians.
Mackhack corrected my used instrument cluster to reflect correct mileage.
