Heating system only blows out hot air through the vents

Even with the A/C on, hot air continues to come out of the vents as if the temp guage was turn up as hot as it will get. Couldn't find any blown fuses. Is there a separate thermostat, other than the engine? Could the knob be stuck?

I would look at the air blend doors first, it sound like they are not working or your control in the dash is not working send a signal to them. they work by changing the air from hot to cold or in between.

Sounds like the Coolant is not full and has a air bubble. It is very important to have the system filled complete. That would be the first step.Good luck and have a great day.

2002 New VW Beetle is only blowing hot air out of vents even when set on cool. I was driving and I made a turn at an intersection and all of a sudden the cool vent air turned to hot air like I had the heat...

On the bottom of the air unit is the lever that changes temps. It likes to fall out of place.I propped mine back with a piece of half-inch copper pipe a couple of years ago.Remove glove box then panel on front side of console to access.

My heating system only blows out hot air through the vents.

I've seen this problem alot. Replace the switch panel for the heater. There's a chip on the backside that likes to go bad. The part is a dealer item.
