Turning your Air Con on should make your car overheat more. Turning your heater on full would be better.

Has coolant just been overfilled?

Or not enough actual coolant in the reservoir causing it to boil?

no i put coolant between add and max. when he get overheated he is throwing water from engine and car dont recognize any error and as u see on pic hot it stay all the time.
i was testing it in all ways and waiting to turn vents on but he didnt he just trow water out

dose this commodore have water sensor ?
example if i put water not coolant ?

water is coming out from everywhere..from coolant resevoar where u put water and under it and from tube from engine to coolant.. i took out that tube from engine to reservoar and than it come out only from tube..so my point is he throw water only from engine..and it comes out from coolant reservoar becouse when he mix hot water from engine and that tube is going in coolant reervoar... OMG i hope you understund me what i mean :D

Why have you included a phot of a vehicle dashboard? If it is to indicate the position of the Temperature Gauge, then it is probably in about the desired range for normal operating conditions. If problem persists, suggest you take vehicle to an Auto Cooling Specialist who will have necessary equipment to make informed assessment.

as I was reading this thread, I was wondering if you might have a radiator cap problem.
I had to replace the cap on my VZ twice. So far, my VE hasn't had that problem.
Your temperature guage (pic) is sitting exactly where mine sits.
If I were replacing my radiator cap, I would stick to the manufactuer's recommendation.
Also, when you lose coolant, sometimes you only have access to water, so you use water to get home.
But every mechanic I have spoken to says that it is important to replace lost coolant with the correct coolant. If necessary, you might have to drain your cooling system and refill it.
