I need to look into the mileage of my car, is there a way to read the ecu mileage through the likes of VCDS, VCP or other tools?

The mileage is saved within the first few lines of the VCDS scan log.

Is that ECU mileage or instrument cluster mileage though? I know previously on edc15 there were two values I was able to tell if a car was clocked before but not sure if it's the same on edc17

I don't know. 

its surely the ecu mileage... given talking to the ecu is the whole point of the obd2 interface

There is a seperate function in VCDS at the very highest menu level for checking the mileage of the vehicles ECU compared to that which is recorded and displayed on the instrument binnacle.

 

I had fitted a remapped "plug n play" ECU and the speedo read as it always had, i'm pretty sure the VCDS printouts showed the actua mileage (but in kms) and when I used that function it showed a much higher kilometrage, that of the donor vehicle and I am pretty certain that it increased as I put more kms on the replacement ECU.

 

There was a text explanation to say that the figure embedded in the ECU was there to witness any clocking of the instrument binnacle and that the algorithm that it used was the number of hours driven multiplied by the average speed or something and as such it was normal for it to be very slightly different to the speedo display.

 

That function does not work on the Yeti it says it is not supported but worked on the MK2 Octavia. The info can be found though under advanced measuring blocks of the engine contro module.

Mileage recorded in a vcds scan is from the instrument cluster, you can check it on some ECUs
