A week ago I was sitting in Times Square and POOF!! Smoke, anti-freeze all spilled out of the hood. Horrible. Some Austrians yelled, "we know mercedes, we will help you!". They screwed the hose back together that came apart during the "explosion" replaced the anti-freeze with water and i was on my way.
Took it to a mechanic the next day and they said a screw was loose underneath the car or something. I can drive it but it still runs hot when I idle for a long time. This usually in traffic in NYC. Something is not cooling the engine. right? Fan maybe?
