Based on the symptoms, thermostat or heater core would be the immediate suspects.

So the car has 130k miles, thermostat (oem) was replaced at 100k at dealer. After all this I decided to replace the thermostat and that seems to have been the problem! Does this seem normal an oem thermostat failing after only 30k?
