Had the same temp problem with our 95 960. The thermostat failed (literally broke) in the open position. It's easy to change the thermostat on these engines, didn't spill a single drop. Drain about 2 liters from the petcock at the bottom of the radiator with the cap off. Two Hex cap screws and if's off in a jiff with no leakage, you don't even need a rag. Make sure the "c" style o-ring gasket is on properly and fill with the correct type of Low silcate coolant and you back on the road in miunutes.
