I am just about to purchace a Mercedes C220 CDi Estate 2000 W and the mileometer is blank, i.e not working and not showing how many miles it has done. Is the milage stored in the ECU or in the mileometer display in the dash? So in other words if i buy and fit another screen will it read the up to date mileage or will in start from Zero?

Many Thanks

You could try a speedo correction service:

The same happened to my Dad's C-Class. IIRC the bits that stored the dash information were spread around the dash and he needed a big repair. This was just out of warranty so Merc went 50/50 with him. I think 50% was about £600

Similar problem in Mrs Dilligaf's E class. Spoke to a Merc Indy in Brum and he has replacement displays and told me that he just downloads the old info and uploads it to the new displays so I am guessing it may be the same in a C class. I will try and find the Indy's details if you want.

Worst case is that you are lookig at replacing the complete cluster.

The dealer will have to reprogram the new cluster with all the vehicle peramiters etc including mileage IIRC.
