JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Odometer digital turns out to be easier for tricked rather than the mechanical type found in cars car old. To make matters worse, apparently the change was on odometer digital is difficult to detect.
In the market there are already available special tools with specific software for customizing odometer digital, service actors can be sought. One method is via the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) plug.

Mobil88 President Director Halomoan Fischer said consumers cannot know whether a digital odometer has been tricked or not. That, plus a huge advantage for the seller, makes the practice of manipulating the car odometer very difficult to eliminate.
“When it was not digital, it was better to monitor it. The mechanical odomoter turned it like a cut, using a screwdriver. So if we are observant, we will definitely see marks, whether the numbers are sliding or scratches, ”said Fischer when contacted by Kompas.com.
The only one way knowing that the digital odometer has been tricked by using a periodic service history from an authorized repair shop.

The same thing was revealed by owner Jordy Car At MGK Kemayoran, Andri, according to him, in order not to be fooled by a tricked digital odometer, prospective buyers must be more careful with regard to the vehicle service records.
“It’s trivial, but you can see the oil hanger on the car, when you change the oil you will definitely get a paper hanging on the steering wheel. Most of the time when the odometer has been rotated, the oil hanger paper is gone, ”Jordy said when contacted Kompas.com Friday (4/9/2020).
Andi continued, it could also be seen by the steering wheel. If the steering wheel has not been slippery and the km has only reached 50,000, it could be a sign that the odometer has been turned.
However, both Fischer and Andi said this could not be a benchmark because not all cars were always serviced at official workshops. The solution that can be done by the community is to buy cars at a trusted place.
