#2: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 5:45 am ---- There is depending on year of 206 BUT the question is why?
#3: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 6:02 am ---- Unplug the cable from the speed sensor on the gearbox...could this effect the ABS and airbags potentially too?
#4: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 6:28 am ---- A lot of newer 206's dont have a gearbox speed sensor to unplug as the speedo & mileometer run of the ABS system.
My 03 plate car doesnt have a gearbox speed sensor.

So then you get lots of interesting questions about why your speedo and ECU don't match ...
Needless to say, they won't pay up! And might even report you to DVLA/Police for "clocking" ...
#8: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 9:59 am ---- Whatever you are trying to do it won't work.
#9: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 10:16 am ---- I'm assuming you are with a company like insure the box. In which case the mileage they record is taken from a gps transceiver not the car. When they fit their box they note down the mileage of your car there and then. The gps box are very accurate and give them precise details of mileage, speed and other factors like braking and accelerating. As far as I know there is no way to deceive these boxes so changing the mileage of your car won't make a spot of difference. If your insurance is limited mileage without a box trying to change the mileage of the car to deceive or fraud your insurance company would invalidate it as well as being a criminal offence. You might not be happy your insurance company have " Stiched" you up as you put it but I would suggest you think before you end up making things even worse for yourself.

We know you can. But he can't which is probably for the best.

This suggests that there are two sensors to record the mileage, one that feeds the dash and one that feeds the ECU.

He's talking s**te. There's one that logs it in the BSI and dash on a 'plexed car. Only mileage recorded in the ECU is service data.
#15: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 12:06 pm ---- people are quite easy to forget things.
plexed 206 = bsi+dash
pre-plexed= dash only;
ecu doesn't involved in either case.
#16: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: cobra268, Location: grimsbyPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 12:13 pm ---- whats plexed and pre-plexed?
#17: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 12:17 pm ---- Look in the FAGs
#18: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: davecuk, Location: lincsPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 12:17 pm ---- hi easy way to tell difference is by the stalk on steering column you use to adjust stereo. preplexed has a thin arm, a later plexed car has a thick stubby one.
#19: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: cobra268, Location: grimsbyPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 12:23 pm ---- so can i still disable the mileometer and no worry about the ecu?what i need to do pls
#20: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 12:38 pm ---- Read 95020 in dashboard and 95160 in BSI and I will change you the mileage
#21: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 12:44 pm ---- I've never understood how limited mileage policies can be enforced. I am insured to drive my 206 1,500 miles a year. Not a problem as it will do less than 1,000 miles.
What's to stop somebody else using their own insurance to drive the car and do more miles? The risk my insurance company is covering is when I drive the car, so what's it got to do with them if somebody else drives it with their own policy?

#23: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 1:09 pm ---- Being honest here, you are way too deep in your depth. You should have been honest with the insurance in the first place and then you wouldn't have been in this predicament

Insurance companies can't enforce half the things they want, they just persume that people will abide.
Same goes for named drivers.
Although the policy holder must use the car more than name drivers even if the name driver drove it 100% of the time and crashed all they have to say is they took it out once to go to the shops.
#26: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 3:23 pm ---- I tell my insurance that I will do 8000 miles a year, I've never been asked what mileage the car is on so they won't know if I do 5000 or 50000.
I know one of the black box companies quoted me a decent price but only if I did a limited amount of driving in rush hour (something like 50 hours through the year) and drove mainly after 8pm at night. Needless to say that quote was binned.
#27: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: cobra268, Location: grimsbyPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 3:35 pm ---- my mileage lim to let them it is 5000 miles if i decide to add more i need to let them know so they will take more money off me.they also asked me the current mileage.seems im not going to get out of this mess

i got a quote from that insure the box on a comparison site, was a few hundred quid cheaper, but once you hit the limit, it you had to buy more miles
i tell mine i do about 8k a year, this year i havent done that, last year i did more.....never been asked the mileage tho

A lot of policy's have a clause that say "The vehicle must not cover more than X amount of miles during the duration of the policy" or something along those lines.
Although I think it was Footman James or someone that had a loophole on their limited policy's. They checked the miles on the car when the policy finished but they didn't check at the start and relied on what the policy holder said; a lot of people were saying the mileage on their car was higher than it was when they took the policy out. When RSA bought it up they have/are going to closed the loophole.
Not quite so simple. My sister works in insurance fraud and she says its easy to tell especially if they are under pressure as they slip up or muddle their story's.
#30: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 6:21 pm ---- they never ask me to provide my current mileage when i renew my policy
#31: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 7:10 pm ---- Might not have been them, or it was something along those lines anyway I can't remember.

So you’re basically asking on an open public forum for something to help you commit fraud on your insurance........
Have I missed Christmas and woken up on April fool’s day or something.....
We certainly have a clever person here don’t we......
#37: Re: how to disable mileometer/odometer Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:31 am ---- Read the thread.
