I had no heat after replacing the water pump on my 96 Audi A6 quattro. After reading the last post, I found a bleeder on one of the hoses going to the heater core. I just turned it and it allowed the air to escape. Then I had heat.

There is a flap that is controlled by a servo motor (temperature blend flap motor). When this stops working the blend door stays in the closed position and does not allow air to move over the heater core.

It is located under the cowel cover, the motor is under a cover on the drivers side of the box and the linkage is directly across on the passenger side (white plastic). If you change temp. settings and this doesn't move then it is not working.

There is also a coolant shutoff valve that is inline with the heater lines under the cowel cover. make sure it is allowing coolant to pass through. It is likely this is not the problem but never hurts to check. (Default is open so failure means heat usually)

    The easiest way to diagnose this is with a vag-com or other vw/audi scan tool. It will most always set a code in the hvac system.

    Can the flap and servo be accessed without removing the complete dash and havac box? Already have center console and controls completely removed.

1995 Audi 90: No heat!

I had that same problem on a 1990 audi 90.

Turns out the radiator was leaking, so the coolant kept running out causing the temp light to go on. as a temporary fix, you can keep topping up the coolant, but otherwise you are going to need to get that radiator fixed. by the way, audi 90s have TWO radiators; in my case it was the smaller radiator that had gone. 

new radiator later, and it was fixed. unfortunatley, my temp gauge has never work...
