Really hot heating

I know this sounds odd but my mk6 when the blowers are on gets super hot. Even half way between full and cold it blows super hot enough to burn my feet when it is directed that way. 

 

Ita a 03 MK 6 1.4. Engine temps seem normal no overheating issues fan kicks in etc. Any ideas ? It's super warm on full. Not a bad thing but seems odd. Thanks

    The fan only comes on when its overheating - perhaps a faulty coolant temp sensor giving you a lower reading - basically the engine is overheating and giving really hot water to the heater matrix but the gauge might say that its fine - do you have a laser thermometer to check the actual temp of the engine etc?

    No I don't unfortunately. The fan was on for a few minutes after the engine had been turned off could this indicate over heating then?

    Could be that the thermostat has stuck closed.
