Did you try checking the heater valve? Try pulling the vacuum like off to see if it works

define heat, as in the blowing in the car wont go warm, or your car never warms up on the coolant temp gauge.

$2 white plastic clip under the dash. The only cheap Porsche 944 repair there is!
Do a search and you will find the details....or just go to Clark's Garage web site.

If the white clip fails the AC system defaults to full heat (Germans don't want to die in the snow). If this car is not getting heat, the white clip is not the issue.

Heater Valve has probably failed in the close position

Can also be the interior temperature sensor which is behind the glove compartment.
