I'm amazed. After owning a 2.1L c900 with it's somewhat finicky coolant system needs, I've adopted Tom Townsend's advice and change the tstat with almost every coolant change. It is cheap insurance vs getting stranded.
Maybe the new tstats tend to fail open - that seems to be what is common with the 9-5 (the one that came in my car did) and the system seems to be able to pick up on that and throw a code before anything too bad happens. I always try to keep a spare on hand and always buy oem. These are important but inexpensive parts so it is pointless to save a few pennies by cheaping out.
