Odometer Set to 0?

[Phil Biscuit]

Just had my fuel injectors replaced and noticed when I got home that my odometer is reading 0 miles. Before the repair, it was roughly 80000. Is there anything I can do about this? Had the repair done a fair distance away so taking the car back to the same garage would be a pain.

WBAC the car immediately.

Put the car up on axel stands and leave it full throttle until it's back to 80K.

You sure it was your odo and not your trip? It's not easy to reset odo.. Never mind illegal

Even if they had somehow been reset, they wouldn't still read zero at the end of the journey. Sounds like something's broken. What's the car?

Sure it's not showing the trip distance? Battery likely got disconnected during the work.

I've seen this happen on a Ducati motorcycle the battery has a dodgy connection thst cuased other issues, but as a side effect it broke the odometer and Ducati themselves said it couldn't be fixed.

I believe it probably could be fixed, but that's what you get for buying Italian cheese metal bike (not mine).

Sorry yeah, it reads 43 which is pretty much just the distance from my house to the garage

Definitely the odometer, my trip 1 and trip 2 were both reset also

What car is it?

What's the car?

2010 Kia Pro Ceed 1.6 diesel. Just went in to have it’s fuel injectors replaced.

 

[Phil Biscuit]

Mechanic mentioned something about having to program the injectors in after being replaced. Is it possible he accidentally caused the odo to reset?

 

[Janesy B]

There's no way it'd be that easy.

I only use the car for a 50 mile commute which is entirely motorway driving. There’s 93000 miles on the odo

Which one was it?

93000, meant to type roughly 90000

 

[Spleen Sauce]

Sounds like they accidentally replaced the whole engine.

My first car, a 1.2 8v Punto Activ (lol) done this!

I think it was up to 12000odd, and then zeroed itself! I was pretty confused, so was the dealer when I traded it in for a better car (1.2 16v Corsa (lol!!)).

Did the injectors need coding?
May have messed something up with the ecu?

 

[pugheaven]

wow, if that recoding and matching the injectors and it's reset that's a MASSIVE MASSIVE problem... hahaha... well you now have a new car lol. problem is now, that's bad because it'll be a nigthmare to sell!
