Warning Messages on Dashboard (W210)

[GregM]

I have an "Engine Fan - Visit Workshop" message appear this morning and as best I can tell it is spurious, the fan comes on as expected and seems to stay on (I ran it for half an hour) with no problems.

What I would like to do is reset the message and see if it recurs before I do anything about it as all seems well.

Is it possible for a 'user' to reset the message or does a workshop have to do it with a special doodad?

Or could the message mean something else entirely to what I expected?

I dont think that this fault say on if there was no fault, i.e if it was okmthen the warning would go out.

So there must be a current fault with it. I belive you have a seperate fan control module which needs to be checked for water damage or checked with a star to see why it's faulting.

It seems to have gone off again now, no malfuction showing on the display and the fan still seems operational so I guess I will just keep an eye on it.
