Incurred a little problem on my Audi A3 2.0tfis 2006. Heaters only blow out hot on Max on both sides, if i cahnge it to say 27 degrees its blows out luke warm. Changed the thermostat as the temps was only reaching 70degrees (if that). Done a scan with Vag-Com (no codes). Any ideas?
 
out of curiosity, is your car in single wire mode via vcds? I had the same issue and changed out the havc unit and now no heater problems and no further single wire mode. might as well find a q3 unit on eBay
 
If the temp in the cabin is higher than the temp you set the heater to, it will blow cooler air to bring the temp down.
Most noticeable when the car's been parked in the sun.
 
Car is cold inside and not in the sun but I'll keep an eye on that. As for a q3 unit this could be the answer, I'll keep an eye out
