Firstly, the heater takes a good ten minutes before its producing heat. Then its very dependent on the heater control position. I find 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock lots of heat on all but the lowest heating setting ( to clear the windows I assume) every other position is a delicate balance I've yet to master after nearly three years of ownership, or 6 years if you count my T5 which was the same. I do find keeping the feet warm when its really cold is a big problem.
I’ve got it on windscreen and right round to hot and it’s like being breathed on by someone although strangely I’ve just travelled back from work the same journey as this morning with the heat control on the 12 o’clock position and it’s melting my face?? So what’s all that about ??
Have you got the Climatic climate control?
if you have there are various electronic motors that control the heat and distribution of the air to keep a constant temp . . . .
best way to test it is direct the air straight out of the front center air vents and monitor the temps from there.
default temp should be 22degC ish,
with the heat dial at 12 o-clock,
and the blowers on with the engine temp gauge showing 90 deg C (pointing 12 oclock) with the engine running.

Was it an expensive fix? Mine has just gone.Update , So I’ve been to Bilston Vw van center today, great service, had a phone call within an hour saying they’d found the problem my cable had come off my hot/cold dial. Problem solved Incase anyone else has the issue
