My heater puts out almost no heat i'm thinking maybe heatercore but not sure. I put a piece of cardboard to up my water temp but it did nothing but bring engine temps up ( it was running right at the half way mark) I let it sit for a while thinking it might just take a long time but nothing. Any tips or help trouble shooting would be much appreciated. Thank you!

P.s i'm also getting a burning oil smell ( not caused by AC) I check the oil levels often and it's all good there... So i'm lost on that Ideas at what might be the issue?

 

Yep, clogged heater core VERY common. See this thread I just posted in:

Just a shot in the dark here, but check out the ducting.

Where is the thermostat at I wanted to change that while flushing the coolant. I.m trying to do the easier things before trying to change the core

 

If it's a 2.8, it's positioned conveniently behind the timing belt. If it's a 1.8 you can get at it from below the car. https://www.audiforums.com/forum/diy...4-1-8t-127029/
