    Re: No Heat Unless high RPMS

    my advice.. check out where your hose lines run, if your in 0* temps you might be missing those stupid Audi insulating wraps that insulate the lines... At 0* temp even hot radiator fluid will turn cold by the time the fluid gets to the heater core... The reason you get heat at high RPMS is because the fluid travels so fast through the lines it has no time to cool down...

    My fix to this problem: dont buy Audis 100+ insulation, just goto homedepot or someplace like that and wrap the lines up

    Air in the heater core. The revs. help to circulate the coolant. You'll also need the check for the leak that caused the air pocket.

    Re: No Heat Unless high RPMS

    Ok well i flushed the heater Core out and it looked pretty discolored but not chunkey or really any build up. After that i filled the system back up and started the car. it was blowing pretty warm air at idle and hot air at 1700rpm and above.

    also it seems as if now my temp gauge takes a long time to reach the operating temp. ( does not ever over heat)

    If i idle for a bit the gauge holds right in the middle then if i rev it up and hold it for a cupple of seconds i can see the temp gauge go down pretty quick.

    Sorry for the long post guys it seems like an air pocket or a bad thermostat but i am stumped right now

    Re: No Heat Unless high RPMS

    You have a bad thermostat. It's stuck in the open position and not allowing the eng. to get to proper temp. This will cause it to use more fuel also.

    But he not running hot, just no heat. Lack of circulation would cause a overheat condition.

    Re: No Heat Unless high RPMS

    i'm still having this problem too. Little to no heat during regular driving around town but if i drive on the freeway at about 70 mph , 3000 rpm's, the heat eventually comes on and gets hot. And today doing snow drifting the heat was really hot as well. Same issue with the temp guage taking a long time to heat up as well.

    I have a similar problem as well on my 2000 s4. I already replaced the waterpump, thermostat and radiator. All this happened after I did my timing belt. I had my mechanic redo the thermostat and waterpump.. still no luck

    i noticed the same problem the last couple of weeks with my car also, i was on the highway and the heat was working just fine, once i got off and was driving at low speeds the air was colder, anyone figured it out yet?

    It has got to be air locked or the thermostat needs replaced.

    Re: No Heat Unless high RPMS

    It is not the thermostat because my temperature gauge will not go lower than 90 degrees celsius. I know of 3 Audis that have the same problem. Even the dealer misdiagnosed the car. They put a heater core in my friends car and he ended up with the same problem. Any other ideas? The car has been airlifted as well

    i think i'm going to check this out.. my car seems to take forever to heat up but when i slow down or just cruise, the car temp cools down also.. it's frustrating.. and we wont even get into gas mileage... i just tried autozone.com to find a thermostat for my car... nothing... they have 2 dif coolant temp sensors but no thermostat.. a 4wire green top sensor for $7 and a 2 wire black for $35...

    Re: No Heat Unless high RPMS

    I'm in the same boat. Exact same symptoms.

    Iv done heater flush, coolant flush, new water pump and constantly bleed the system. Still no luck.

    I don't have the heater wrap around my hoses tho.... Temps in my area have been around the 0*C range.

    Could the heat wrap really make that much of a difference?

    Add me to the list of having this problem.

    Does anyone else have their coolant display in center come on and flash randomly with no kind of predictability or pattern?

    Hopefully someone will figure out an answer

    Same issue. Coolant display sometimes comes on when I first start the car after sitting outside all night (near 0 degree F temps). After the car is running for a bit the symbol goes away. High RPM's = Heat Normal RPM's = No Heat.

    I'd like to check my coolant level but my hood release handle broke about a month ago and now I believe the cable became detached under the hood. Time to buy a big ass screwdriver or bust the grill out.... Fantastic!

    Same issue, but only when its really cold, when it is in the 20's have heat all the time, only when it gets around zero do I have issues, and considering its been around -10 for the last couple weekes here, it sucks, freeway driving yields warm heat.

    same issue. It's really pissing me off. The car is always cold unless i'm on the damn freeway. The coolant display comes on when i start the car sometimes and then goes away when the car warms up. And the same goes for high and low rpm's. It's still happening and it's been months.

    There seems to be a lot of people with this problem. Maybe we should start a new class action lawsuit.

    Re: No Heat Unless high RPMS

    I decided to do a full VAG scan of my car and found two things that might be related:

    Address 08: Auto HVAC
    01274 - Air flow positioning motor (v71)
    41-10 - Blocked or no voltage - Intermittent


    Address 46: Central Conv.
    01320 - Control module for climatronic (j255)
    49-10 - No communications - Intermittent


    Can some one who is also having heating problems do a full scan to see if maybe one of these are are the culprit?
    Oh and none of these codes through a CEL.

    Re: No Heat Unless high RPMS

    Got under the car and got the hood popped.

    The belly pan had a nice amount of coolant on it. Forward, driver's side of the pan, under the radiator hoses and water pump. I didn't have enough time to investigate exactly where the leak is coming from (suspect the water pump), but topping off the fluid helped. I was just below the Minimum line before topping off. Heat and everything is working fine at this point.

    We'll see how long the leak stays at this rate. For now, keeping a 50/50 mix of Audi G12 and water in the trunk will have to suffice.

    Re: No Heat Unless high RPMS

    It seems like there are two different issues going on here

    1. low/no heat at idle and city driving.
    2. Water temp drop while under load.

    I'm experiencing low heat at idle, only when its real cold out. My car gets to operating temp after about 5 minutes of city driving. I also get the coolant light flash on cold mornings, and the cold start idle is really rough.

    Definitely two things going on. I've got problem #1.

    Had the thermostat changed first, no dice, and then I noticed I was losing coolant. Searched around and found an Audi Technical Service Bulletin, tag line "coolant leak or no heat", blames it on a plastic plug in the cylinder block, near thermostat housing, that is faulty under 0'C (about -25'C here lately). Had that checked out, found some leakage so it was changed last week. Up to now seems leaking has stopped but heat gone again after a couple days. Could it be air leak or plugged up heater core?

    I have had the same prob too and just had sensor and rear flange fixed for leak... everything changed, (thermostat, waterpump...ect...) heater core flushed..... no heat at idle, only heat at hwy speeds. Going to Audi tomorrow night to chew thier heads off and find a resolution. My delaer has 1st place mechanic there from this years audi tech challange in Atlanta...
    see what he says and I will get back to you !!

    Re: No Heat Unless high RPMS

    I dunno if its the cold temperature outside (-9) or my car. I warm it up for 15 min, the temperature gauge says its fully warmed up, but all it does is blow cold air out. I make a 10 min commute, so I don't really get to see if it warms up after...could it just be cold outside and takes more time to warm up?

    Re: No Heat Unless high RPMS

    OK......... I was just at the dealer and had a long conversation about this... the 3 mechanics advised the car has a little bit of a design flaw.
    My car '03 has had everything done (temp sensor, thermostat, waterpump ect...) I have the same problem as all of you. He said for cold temps like everyone is having it is normal for the car to be cold and at idle to run cold. He said leaving at idle in the morning wont even warm it up after like 45 mins. the car needs at least 2500 constant RPM to make things work. He said this is all too common with these generation vehicles. I asked what about flushing the heater core, they advised waste of time unless there is a serious problem. I also asked about the electronic thermostat throwing codes, he said it can throw all kinds if its an issue, but there is no way of really pointing on that unless replaced, and 95% of the time it isnt even that.

    Hope this helps.... cause Im sick of freezing my A$$ of in the morning !!!

    ^ you the man. Thanks for clearing it up. Makes sense, cuz in the morning when the rpm's jump it gets noticeably warmer, but at idle its nice n cold!

    Re: No Heat Unless high RPMS

    Wierd gremlins with these B6s. I had a very gradual decline to no heat at all a few months ago. Had my heater core flushed in late December and everything was running perfect: warm air blowing strongly into the cabin.

    Fast-forward to this month, where we're getting pretty cold temperatures again and I'm noticing that it's, once again, taking a long time to heat the cabin. Last time I drove about 45 minutes and the air was only somewhat warm. Since the heater core has been recently flushed, I can't figure out what else the problem might be.

    Re: No Heat Unless high RPMS

    Ok, I just discovered something very strange. I typically have my HVAC settings at 21-24 deg C and AUTO air distribution with the automatic recirc on. I experimented with the manual settings and turned the AUTO off and manually selected the MIDDLE and LOWER air vent arrangement.

    Right away, I heard the HVAC system flaps/valves move and re-direct air to the proper vents. Soon enough, warm air was rushing out from the vents on the dashboard as well as the floor grilles. The second I turned manual off and AUTO back on, the middle and floor vents closed off and the system began blowing cooler air back towards the windshield. It almost seems like the AUTO mode is forcing the HVAC system to blow an incorrect air temperature mix up towards the windshield...

    Re: No Heat Unless high RPMS

    I've been having the same problem and was just outside and tried every setting and still cold air and it's only 40 degrees outside.

    I have been having this problem for the past couple of months.

    2 months ago: I was getting the coolant light on the dash, topped off the coolant and it blew hot air at idle...maybe this was a coincedence? I thought it was an air pocket in the coolant system and tried to "burp" the system and still no luck. I put in about 2 quarts of G12 50/50, light went off and still having problem.

    Today: I was getting coolant light, tried to "burp" the system again and added another 2 quarts and still blowing cold air. I ran rpms to 2500 for about 10 seconds and warms up right away, but the moment I let off the gas, cold air again.

    I can't stand this cold weather and need heat!! HELP!!

    This seems that all this is happening after we have our timing belt replaced. Mine was replaced back in September. This is the pattern I am seeing, can everyone else confirm?
