A couple of things - first you were probably following really really close so the rad, as you say, may not have been getting a full flow... but you don't need to be that close just in the slipstream which can be quite far back -30 feet even- heck you can drive beside and at the rear of a semi and still be in their slipstream - but you will get pushed around a lot....
the other thing is the VW engine is at the back so less effected by wind blockage but also since the engine is working much less harder, cylinder head temps will go down - I measure oil pressure, oil temp and head temps and all three improve
