Your odometer has been tampered to show lower mileage!

when i picked it up the ODO was 77 and trip meter 79.7

idk why someone would roll back 2.7, so just curious how this could possibly happen.. do they read in different places and something drove 2.7 miles before the other was plugged in? (like during assembly?)

The trip can be reset by anyone at any time.

You could put 10,000 miles on the car, reset the trip, drive it 2.7 miles to the underworld shop, have the odo reset to zero and drive it 77 more miles.

Contact PCNA.

As you know, 911's are very fast.

How fast? Well, I think this is clear evidence of the time/space dilation effect that occurs when velocity is a significant percentage of c...

Mine is similar, just assumed factory set to zero after road test and before transport.

im with you... i know theres no funny business.. im simply asking how that could have happened... the most logical answer i have at the time was its 2.7 miles around the factory and the speedo was plugged in at the end.. or well. 2.7 miles after the tires hit the floor?

So the factory over looked it and the dealer also did not catch that?
If true, the lack of attention to detail is mind boggling.

There was a thread a while ago about the mileage on the trip computer exceeding the ODO as well, suggesting some inaccuracy and probably multiple sources (gps vs cable to the transaxle?) unreconciled.

Surprising to see it as you have it shown; can't offer a good conjecture.

The dealer cant reset the ODO and the PDI check list does not include resetting the trip meter nor does it need to.

Maybe Siemens VDO delivers the gages with ODO on 99999....995 kms, expecting it to turn to zero in production
The trip meter will be 5 kms or around 3 miles advanced

Funny last night I took a brand new Cayenne home and this morning I checked the odo vs the trip meter and the trip meter has .4 miles more on it.
