Hi,
my odometer is stuck and therefore my car won't pass inspection. My mechanic said the only way to fix it is to replace the whole instrument cluster. Any idea if I could replace it with a used instrument cluster, and if that's possible, where I could get one for cheap?
I have a 2001 Passat GLS 1.8L L4 PFI DOHC
Please clue me in on any helpful information you might have.
Thanks!

Ryan before you replace your cluster, try this if you haven't already.
Disconnect the negative battery cable, then the positive. Wait ten minutes, then connect the positive battery cable, then the negative. Wont hurt anything, but might disable your radio with a SAFE on display. You should have the code for your radio in your owners manual to reset it. Good luck!
