An update for you guys

So i installed the thermostat and before i install it i did a cooling system flush and the results are with no ac temps are between 70 and 90 pretty stable its the same city or highway without ac

With ac in the city its like this

But no boiling or anything and the fan is working great

The ac condenser is very hot at left side right side is warm to the touch

However ac at highway sometimes gets to 90 but no higher

Is the radiator fan running all the time in that situation?

mine would run approx there (maybe a tad colder) in the city with ac.
is the expansion tank loosing coolant.
if not i say you are ok

Below was mine before i changed the thermostat sensor with an ''expensive" one

after the installation the needle goes to 91 'C and that is the highest point in traffic.

Finally after a year

i solved this problem and im so thankful for you guys and your help and i hope somebody learns from what happened to me

what i did was i contacted a radiator craftsman who made me a radiator with thin pipes which was 28*60 the (1.6 radiator)in diameter all aluminum with the same openings and mounting points before installing i did cooling system cleaning and flush installed the new radiator with the old fan but same results at highway speeds the car is fantastic with ac on and everything but at stop lights fan doesn’t shut off and engine keeps overheating even when ac off so i threw away the old noise hog fan and installed a double fan system and boy it’s different in every single aspect car doesn’t overheat any more fans kick on for 20-30 seconds at high speeds (the fan speed) and shut off in red lights you can barely hear it even at high 

at the highway fans don’t kick on at all and with ac its 90 all the time at the highway or red lights 

thank you all for your help

They didn't take into account the so called global warming.

Dual fan setup huh I've never seen tat mod being successful without the metal duct

I removed the old fan and that metal duct (shroud) and purchased a new dual fan with their shroud

They didn't think, they just took radiator straight from Estelle. It worked in Central Europe, they didn't think about export to tropical countries or even such luxury, which is AC.

 

Anyway, I'm not sure if it was mentioned earlier, but did you have original Skoda radiators or some Chinese replicas? Chinese ones have limited cooling capacity, barely enough to handle summer in Europe on non-ac car.
