Temperature Gauge Problem 2005 S-Type, Temp gauge go's hot then back to normal
I Have a 2005 S-Type 3.0 , I Have had the Radiator replace, the Thermostat replaced, the water pump replaced, the radiator Reservoir tank and the radiator cap replaced twice and it still doing the same thing it will indicate Hot and then it go's back to normal, don't know what to do next ?

How quickly does the indication change? Have you measured the temperature at the crossover pipe (front of the engine) or radiator inlet? An infrared thermometer would give a quick answer. I've got to wonder if you've got an indication problem, not an actual overheat.
If it's an indication problem, the V6 cylinder heat temperature (CHT) sender is very easy to change.
Can you please describe exactly when the gauge goes high? Moving on the highway, stopped in traffic, etc.? How high does it go? Does it cool off if you crank the heater to HI? If at idle, does it help to increase the engine RPM? If stopped or moving slowly, does it help to move faster?
One last thought, if a new coolant temperature sensor doesn't help: Have you done a cooling system pressure test? These engines seem to be very finicky about having the proper cooling system pressure. I didn't see any mention of that in your list of work.
