Speedometer not working

[sdewitt at stx.rr.com]

Using the 1552 Audi dealers can only change the mileage on clusters with less than 100km on them, and the mileage can only be changed once.

So if you use a used cluster you are stuck with that mileage.

However there is an electronic tool which you can purchase (600 bucks) which allows you to reprogram a cluster any number of times with any mileage. 

Or you can find a vendor who offers this service,(usually about 50-75 bucks), but most shops with this ability won't do it unless they install the cluster themselves, for a variety of obvious reasons.
