I was driving my 240D today with the AC ( very cool) on . I stopped at a piano teacher's home and let it idle for probably 15 minutes with the AC on. It was fairly warm here (ATL) today. I drove it a short distance back to my house and it seems the radiator pucked out some coolant. I noticed the aux fan was not running. This is first time it has done this since I've had it. Will I be OK driving it until the weekend ? The temp didn't go above 80-90 C as far as I can tell. It does have a non MB radiator cap (23 psi ?).

recently fill the radiator? if you dont leave some space at the top when it gets hot it will spit a little out. you should leave an inch to inchand a half of space at the top of the non expansion tank equipped 240 or any other car wo an expan tank.

possibley nothing to worry abvout. if the aux fans dont work of course you should fix them but it is not an urgent thing as long as you dont let it set and idle for a long time on a hot day and keep an eye on the temp gauge.
