TRYGO:
INTRODUCTION
I have often heard people say, the digital meter on the instrument panel, can never be rolled back. The myth had been that its only the analogue digital mileages that could be adjusted.

These days, there are tools available, especially online in China, that can be used to carry out such a "crime".

In the developed world, rolling a car's mileage backwards different from it's present or true readings, is a terrible crime. It could an auto shop, millions of dollars in lawsuits, and a jail term also. But in the third world, there aren't regulations or laws, prohibiting such practices.

Dealerships, or individuals, could easily manipulate a car's true mileage readings just for the financial benefits that would accrue them.

WHY DO PEOPLE ROLL-BACK A CAR'S MILEAGE?

*Because of greed. It's a commonly held norm that used cars with lower mileages are more expensive than ones with higher mileages. That would be a discussion for some other time.

*Following an accident, a car's dashboard, including the speedometer could be damaged, requiring a replacement.

People, I mean anyone trying to sake a car somewhere, can hire the services of a repair shop to do such adjustments.
Carrying out such adjustments does not reveal the actual mileage of the car, but conceals it.

HOW ARE MILEAGES ROLLED BACK?

1. Removing the speedometer(higher mileage), and replacing it with a lesser mileage from a donor vehicle.

In this method, an accidental car, with a lower mileage is transplanted into the car with a higher mileage. This does not erase the mileage of the acceptor vehicle, but instead, conceals it. That's what SOME car dealers and individuals do.

For instance, if your car's mileage reads 300,437miles, and as a dealer, you'd want to sake that car to an unsuspecting client, what he only needs to do is to get a donor vehicle with a lower mileage of say, 57,122miles, and transfers it to the acceptor vehicle. The vehicle would now read, 57,122mikes, instead if the original 300,437miles.

Note, this technique is applicable to digital speedometer types, and not the analogue type.

2. Memory chip transplant. Its a smart technique, that requires complex skills in electronics.

This technique involves dismantling the speedometer unit completely as seen in the photos below. This exposes the electronic circuitry of the circuit board, where the memory chip is located.

The memory chip is what stores all the distances travelled through out the lifespan of the vehicle.

Special specialized equipment are required to perfect a job like this.
Applicable to digital speedometers.

3. Readjusting an analogue mileage display(odometer).
Analogue ones are a little bit difficult to adjust.
The mileages are removed and adjusted without using specialized equipment.

4. Jack up rear method. In this method, the rear wheels are jacked up, and properly positioned on a safety stands. The wheels are then turned in a reversed manner, to reset the odometer reading to a much lesser one.
This method is applicable only to analogue odometers.

5. Odometer switch method. A switch is incorporated into an odometer current feed circuit, offering a car owner to switch off and on the odometer readings, anytime he/she desires.

Let's take for instance, a driver wants to achieve say, an odometer reading of 79,000miles, and doesn't want to go through the methods explained above.

The driver, with aid of the odometer reading control switch, would toggle off the reading, while driving the car, but would switch it on back, to check if the mileage has exceeded, or not.

This is a very complex kind of manipulation, and a tedious exercise.
You'd have to be vast in some sort of electronics.


I hope this short piece helps you guys understand more how your car's mileage readings are adjusted.



PS: Throughout this week, I'd be writing extensively on mileage (odometers).
Expect more insights in the coming days.

Joseph

By standard, the lower the mileage of a car, the more expensive it would be.

So therefore, most car dealers and sellers rolling down mileage do that to deceitfully get more money for the car which is a true definition of FRAUD.

It is fraud, a lot of car dealers contact me to roll back the mileage but I turn it down, can't do that ,it should be termed a crime to roll back mileage. Normally u roll back mileage if u change a module and it ends up giving u a higher reading than the original but naija is something else

Thanks for your feedback and for not helping people to do it.

See what the rolling back of the benz gle 450 put me into and the bigger mess it wanted to put me into.

According to https://www.nairaland.com/3635437/how-cars-mileage-odometer-rolled-back , it is certain that the mileage of cars are being rolled down.

Attached to this post is the image of an emulator the seller plugged to the instrument cluster of a Benz GLE 450 Coupe 2016 I bought in early October 2023, to reduce its mileage from over 120k miles to over 33k miles. When I started driving the car, it started giving errors such as service gear, power steering malfunctions, and many other ones.

If not for my experience in carrying out VIN checks and other necessary things, I would have tampered with its gear, power steering, etc. which would have made me grounded the car. But luckily for me, I discovered the emulator plugged into the car's instrument cluster; all the errors cleared after I removed the emulator and I was able to drive the car from Abuja to Lagos without any of such errors coming up till today.

What do you think about the rolling down of mileage? Can it be termed fraud or not in the automobile business?

Do you have any experience to share as regards it?
What do you think are the reasons sellers roll down the mileage of their cars?

Here is another tool used for rolling down mileage. It will be plugged to the car's instrument cluster.

How To Get Central Motor Registry Information System (CMRIS) For Your Vehicle In Nigeria

In Nigeria, it is compulsory to process CMR for every vehicle registered. CMR stands for Central Motor Registry which was kind of manually handled by the Nigeria Police Force.

But at a point, the processing of CMR was temporarily suspended for reviews after which it was later resumed and announced as Central Motor Registry Information System (CMRIS). It is now compulsory for every vehicle in Nigeria to have CMRIS which can be easily gotten online through an online portal created by the Nigeria Police Force.

To get started as an individual, you need to have your NIN, allocation of plate number, email address, phone number attached to NIN, vehicle registration number, the chassis number, the engine number, the vehicle colour, year of manufacture, model, make of the vehicle, place of birth, state of origin, etc. As a company, CAC and other necessary things they will need are required.

206 is like golf 3.

While

307 is like golf 4.

Generally

Golf 3 is by far better than golf 4 in terms of reliability.

In conclusion.

206 is by far better than 307

Thanks for this clarification!!!

1. Gear boxes vary from manufacturers..

2. Manual gear boxes are easier to maintain and possibly rebuild by an average mechanic in nigeria.

3. Auto gear boxes are very easy to drive but once you have a crash that has affected the gear, don't fix just replace.

Tip; make sure you come to a hault before to switch from R to D.. but you "can" jazz (clutching) your Manual gear especially when drifting

Beautiful contribution. Thanks

Gear mechanism is the same, try view the 3d modelling on YouTube

Infact poor clutching would ruin your gear box faster
