Disconnect a hose and fill it through the hose. Possibly the one to the water pump; that should be pretty accessible.
It flushes out old coolant and particulates which have formed in your cooling system.

Rust and sediment can accumulate in the cooling system. Flushing the radiator helps keep the cooling system clean.
Not enough coolant in the cooling system - Improper ratio of coolant to water in the system - Improper or failing radiator pressure cap - Cooling system water pump may be failing - Radiator fins may be dirty or blocked. - radiator cooling fans are not operating correctly - cooling system is dirty and may need flushing.
Blocked radiator, low on coolant, stuck thermostat, air in cooling system
Enough to shag it, spoken from experience ;) The average automotive radiator is actually two radiators in one - the larger section for the engine's coolant and the smaller section for the cooling of transmission fluid with some having a section for the cooling of power steering fluid. The only valve in a radiator is one at the bottom for draining and flushing of the engine coolant; the rest of the radiator's interior tubing is clear and un-restricted. landcranch
Low coolant? Cooling fan not working? Bad thermostat? Cooling system airbound? Water pump not circulating coolant? Radiator core plugged or restricted? Bad radiator cap?
A 2001 Volkswagen Beetle only takes a specific type of coolant. When flushing or just topping off the radiator in this vehicle be sure to use G12+ coolant to ensure proper cooling for the vehicles engine.
Low coolant? Cooling fan not working? Radiator restricted or plugged? Water pump not circulating coolant? Defective radiator cap? Low coolant? Cooling fan not working? Radiator restricted or plugged? Water pump not circulating coolant? Defective radiator cap?
The main components of a cooling system typically include a coolant reservoir, radiator, water pump, thermostat, and cooling fans. The coolant reservoir stores the coolant fluid, while the radiator dissipates heat from the engine. The water pump circulates the coolant throughout the system, and the thermostat regulates the coolant flow based on temperature. Cooling fans help to enhance airflow through the radiator, particularly at lower speeds.
Another name for a radiator cap is a coolant reservoir cap. It serves to seal the radiator and maintain the pressure in the cooling system, preventing coolant from boiling over and allowing for efficient operation of the engine cooling system.
If the problem your having is in your 'cooling system' , flushing it out could help out a lot.
