its unlikely to be your thermostat because your car is heating up fine, but does your car maintain a constant temp on the temp gauge, if so then you can rule out the thermostat..

One thing everyone here at this forum will advise you is that if having a problem with your heating change the "BY-PASS VALVE".... its only 28 squid inc VAT.....before you take my advice see what the gti geeks say
