Interesting! You mention the fault code was key. Do you remember what the OBD-II code was in your case? I used a basic scan tool, and it just gave me a generic error related to 'system malfunction'. I suspect the coding because the engine diagnostics seem fine otherwise.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact fault code anymore, it was a while ago. But 'system malfunction' sounds like it could definitely be a coding issue. If the engine diagnostics check out, that strengthens the suspicion. Honestly, I'd say take it to a workshop. They'll have the proper tools to recode the ECU. Messing with that stuff without the right equipment can brick the whole thing.

Took it to a local shop, and you were spot on. The fault code pointed them straight to the ECU coding. They re-coded it, and the error is gone. Cost me 360€, but at least it's fixed. Thanks again for your help!

Whoa, sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my old Opel Astra, although the malfunction indicator wasn't popping up on the speedometer, only on the infotainment. Did you use an OBD-II scan tool to pull the exact fault code? Knowing that helped me a lot when I was trying to figure out what was going on with mine. Turned out to be a weird sensor issue, but the symptoms were almost the same.
