Odometer

[Ed_Manifold]

On our last trip we turned over 40.000 miles on our 2002 Phaeton which we purchased new. Yesterday when we started home from our current trip our odometer registered over 65,000 miles. Both of those trip were only 300 to 500 miles so I gained 25,000 miles. I did not notice the millage when we left home even though I reset the trip odometer to zero. When we started home yesterday and I started the motorhome is when I discovered the difference. None of the numbers were out of alignment as you would expect if a gear had stripped in the transmission where I suppose the millage comes from like in the older vehicles. I plan on calling Freightliner on Monday but I was hoping that some of you have seen this happen before?

Nope, he didn't. He only went 25,000 KM on 378 liters (that's about 1 bathtub) of fuel.

And now everyone knows how many KM you can go with a bathtub full of fuel! 😛 (I'll show myself out, folks.)

Murphy's law that the odometer would go higher rather than lower! Nice to know the crisis was diverted.

Thank-you. You guys are geniuses, by holding down the trip odometer longer when its reading total miles it changed back to actual milage, so thank-you again. This forum has helped me in the past and continues to do so.

X2 65000 km is 40389 miles

You somehow switched the odo from miles to kilometers.
