I replaced them, and all seems back to normal !

Glad you got things fixed. Thanks for following up. Tough when there is more than one failure to confuse the issue.

What was the brand of the new thermostat that failed? Could you tell exactly how it failed?

A couple of months ago, I posted that after a tune up, my mileage was worst, someone suggested me to unlock the hidden menu and check the temperature, so I did.
And the temperature was jumping, not too bad but between 90 and 104.
Anyway, I totally forgot about that.
Then:
It started with random "Low coolant level" warnings, that would come and go. (That was obviously the sensor)

But pretty soon after that I saw the temperature gauge go up (at around 1 o'clock) and then back down ant 12.

That's when i started this thread, and while I was trying to decide what to look at, I remember that someone had mentioned on my other thread, that, that variation was not right on the thermostat.
I'm not sure what the brand was, but had good Amazon reviews, the only noticeable difference was that the connector had a different orientation.

So I decided to get a new one from ebay (following a link that someone posted on this thread), and voila !!
