if temp gauge is in nomral position, then it's a blocked heater matrix, air lock, or ur running low on water.

funny that this post is up as ive been out inmy s2 tonight and cant get hot air in the car. ok, my middle 2 vents are no longer there due to gauges now there but air comin out the other 2 vents is only a tiny bit warm.

i know my heater matrix needs replacing as its dripping. could this be whats causing no real heat?
