Had same problem with temp fluctuating on ef started when l changed themostat. Because heater was not getting hot enough. put in cheap themostat temp would go up to quater then back down 4 times a minute obviously wrong thermostat. l put it in bin went to ford $28.00 got corect thermostat all fine now temp stays on L and heater works.
l think whats happening is thermostat temp is too hot and themo fans and themostat have a fight over what temp motor should be

what you described sounds exactly the same as what happened to my cousin. It was a faulty brand new thermostat for him. radiator shop replaced the second one after changinging radiators and still not fixing the problem.not sure what brands were used.

i would try a genuine one for sure.

My Ea would go near off the scale on it's cycle from cold and then settle down to normal.
I lived with it for years and had 430,000km on the engine.

Solve your problem once and for all

Use the right coolant

Change your Waterpump but at the back of the waterpump there is an o-ring they leak all the time so change that

run a desent Thermostat i went the one ford recomended the 91c that kept jumping around so i went to supercheap and got an 80c one she was as good as gold on the hot day in summer i had the air con while giving the car a bit she stayed on the line under the L by the way this is a EL
