*mileage* still display when I pickup a cluster from a junkyard? Where is the mileage information kept? Will a MY2000+ cluster work on my 99.5 A4? Thanks.

Default Mileage is stored in the cluster.

A cluster from a junkyard will show that vehicle's mileage.

You can get 'virgin' clusters from the dealership, which can be programmed only once.

Default once u get the used cluster you can hook up the vag-tool and put the mileage where you had it

on thing is you can only put mileage on, you can't take away.

Default Hey Todd, how'z it going? Thanks for the info. I'm thinking of getting a 2000+ cluster from the

junkyard if it would work with my car. I'm not sure if it will work though. I guess maybe I'll spend the couple of bucks to see if it will work or not. (I hope it does!)

Default you can put mileage on...once only.

like I said....the cluster will come with NO milage on it...and you can input whatever mileage you want to on it...but you can do that ONLY once. That's it. No more.
