Car question

When I have the heating on in the car why do I get a short blast of cold air when I turn round a sharp bend?

Because you still have the door open silly!!!!


No i ge tthe same, i think its just cold air pushing against the windows and letting it in somehow? God knows....

Thanks for the lame attempt:p:)

what make/model car is it and do you have AC?

I think sometimes if there's a pocket of cold air in the car when you turn the air shifts and you get hit with the cold air, same vice versa

Ford Focus.

I don't think this makes a difference, I have noticed it in other cars that I have driven recently.

Happens on my 3 series which has A/C.

I always assumed there would be a logical reason for it and it was nothing to worry about it. Its probably just simple physics to do with how the car intakes air and heats it, and how when cornering the air doesnt flow as well as it should and therefore comes out cold!

But.. that doesnt really explain it!!

Possibly one of the heater valves is broken, Cornering enables the valve to move on its own?

Passenger screaming for you to slow down? Or is it just my passengers that do that?
