I also just encountered this problem during record cold in New England. Any idea what causes the thermostat and ECT to fail at the same time?

Bay 13 on Volvospeed.com suggests using a 7 inch long 40 torx bit(3/8 drive) to remove the thermostat cover, but my auto supply/hardware stores only carry a torx 3/8 inch socket that is too short and fat to reach the back screw. Can anyone suggest a source for the longer torx bit?

If I don't want to drain the coolant, what kind of clamp are people using on the radiator hose to prevent spillage?

Thanks.
