Hello, I used MES to read the odometer parameters and I get 2 different readings. In ENGINE PARAM I get a reading of 93,551km while in DASHBOARD PARAM I get 144,551. Anybody knows what this is about? I remember when the dealer worked on the car the odometer on the instrument panel suddenly jumped approx. 47,000km. So what is the real odometer situation?
Thank you for any info on this.
 
If I remember well the mileage is stored in two different places: dashboard and engine ECUs and the highest one is displayed in the car ...
The lowest one can be adjusted (increased) so both get the same (actual) value but the opposite aint true.

Thank you Bernie. I would think the lower (engine) value would be the real value since that one was displayed on the dash before they replaced the airbag ECU? I bought this car second hand and was particularly interested in it because it had a low mileage.
