Very odd odometer problem
Well, it went from 629,424 on one fillup, and then suddenly to 730,086!!
 I'm pretty sure even my old 123 will not give me that kind of amazing consumption. I didn't think much of it at the time, as I was just entering numbers in my app. I knew it was time to change oil too, and THAT is when the numbers hit me! I had a minor panic attack as I thought I had gone over 100,000 km without an oil change. So, is there any way to fix this? Or can I just assume its 630,190 now and not 730,190 hahaha! I keep meticulous records on this app, so I know for sure what's going on...

Hahaha....well, it was in the shop to get the Guide Rod Mounts replaced and overall alignment done...you think maybe the shop guy drove it for 100,000?
What started off as a simple alignment job turned into this whole guide rod fiasco that burnt a hole in my pocket. The upside though, is that my car now tracks and feels like the race car it used to be until I changed the tie rod ends without an alignment after  OK, so, if the number is stuck, is there a way to "unstick" it? I know its cool to drive around with a car that reads 700,000 + on it, but its gonna play heck with my record keeping for sure.

Are you sure you got the right car back
I took my dart in to have the rear end rebuilt, long ago.....I was wondering why it didn't have the power it once had.....the shop decided to steal the rare rear end....and stick one in from a six cylinder car....

Although, maybe he hasn't and when they fixed the ODO they accidentally glued the last two digits together!!

This is the Mercedes secret to achieving extremely high mileage longevity on these old diesels. Shhhhhh! Or you'll ruin the myth and spoil the high resale value for everyone.
