Audi A4 heating issue

My Audi A4 has a heating problem. When the car has warmed up to a normal temperature and I turn the heating on, there isn't a lot of heat coming out but there is a lot of smoke. I'm not sure what the problem is, so I'm wondering if anyone could help?

If the smoke is actually steam then the heater matrix has fractured. You will know for sure if the carpets are wet and the coolant level in the header tank has dropped.
