Reply With QuoteThe mileage is stored electronically on each instrument cluster. Since there are some tweaks and upgrades to the cluster for the 98' and 99' year, I don't recommended trying to hook one up with a later MY.
As I understood, the mileage will remain the same if i change the cluster, as it is stored electronically?
Why so serious?

Really? That sucks... so if I just find one that fits, how can I get it to show the real mileage? My one is really messed up, so I WILL have to swap it to another one. Sure, I can replace the flat cables (I have the known "pixel problem"), there is a risk I'll mess them up, and they cost almost as much as a "new" cluster off eBay. What would you do if you had this problem?

You will need to have the mileage corrected by either the dealership or a mechanic with STAR facilitiesOriginally Posted by careface
You never had me, you never had your car
is it only millenium 2000 w202's affected with pixle problems?
I don't have anything on my 1999 cluster.
but then I have pixle problems on my HU climate control display, this is a common problem I guess???
Yes. The 2000 MY instrument cluster was switched over to pixels and of course, the W210's experienced the same issue. No surprise there.
