Question Problem with temperature !!!

I'm very headache with my temperature. It always going up to 110 C. when traffic. But if out from traffic, the temperature going normal 85 Celcius.
Anyway I already changed my A/C condenser, Fan clutch, Water Pump, Thermostat and all the rubber pipe from radiator to engine. But the temperature still hot. What I must do with this problem ? somebody can help me? anyone have diagram for cooling system and climate system ? Please attach to my email @ benz_ride@hotmail.com . Thanks.

Have you ever flushed the radiator?
Did you check the temp. sensor for the temp. gauge of the coolant? It sits atop the engine block pull it off to find out which one is for the gauge.
Do the fan(s) in front of the A/C condensor really work properly when the A/C refrigerant exeeds a certain pressure or temp.? You can check the fan(s) by bridging the pressure/temp switch just on top of the A/C bottle next to the ABS unit on the passenger side (Indonsia!!). The fan(s) shall run as soon as you bridge the switch. If they dont work, the air entering the radiatior is too high and causes the temp. to rise.
This is all I can think off in your case.
