I would try flushing the system with just water. Remove the thermostat so it will freely circulate, let it run at full RPM with the hose hanging it the radiator and the drain open.
Let it run until clear water draining, then drain it.
If the radiator is not too hard to get off, you could take it off, treat just the radiator with some vinegar or descaling treatment. Then turn it upside down and blow it out with alternating water and compressed air. Just be careful not to put too much pressure on it.

While the thermostat is out, go ahead and replace it, just to say you did. A 180* is a good choice.
