BMW 118i 2006 - Re-writing correct mileage into cluster and CAS #

Posted by Kris Sheridan on March 19, 2016, 9:25 am

Year of Manufacture *: 2006

Good morning guys

BMW 118i we had in with swimming ECU, Long story short, we are covering the repair as it was an issue we caused (wont go into detail)

We found an exact match "ECU KIT" and ordered it, fitted it and matched chassis no's using genuine AVDI...

However the mileage is still higher than the car itself.

90108km in the car
137***km in the CAS module.

The cluster is displaying whatever value is in the CAS module however i cannot re-write mileage in the CAS module via OBD

Is there any other options available to me?

He used something called "Enigma"

He pulled the instrument cluster out and soldered onto the board to write correct mileage, then connected the adaptor to the instrument cluster connector on the car to "Backfeed" the info into the CAS module.

Very clever guy.

He wrote 1000 miles into the cas and the correct mileage into the instrument cluster, so if there were any further problems it was half the job to correct...

Either way... its done!

Glad you got a successful result, this post highlights the tech side of the trade right now, it is now getting to the stage where generic tools, are in danger of being left in the wilderness
