Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

In one of my cars if the fans are running quite quickly you can even hear a change in note at the same time.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Strange phenomenon, but just wondering if anyone else has experienced a cold draft when turning!?!? Noticed it a few times now, even with the blowers on hot and fully up to temp, sometimes when I turn sharply I can feel a cool draft blow through the dash area(with the roof up)!

POST 2Original post

Never noticed this in my Spyder - but rarely drive with roof up. Do notice it though in my BMW -strange feeling as it seems to come from the side/back of the car! Ghost passengers ?

POST 3Original post

Perhaps its the roof down wind simulation option thats malfunctioning by blowing air when the roofs down when its supposed to do it only with the roof up.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hmmm, seems to only happen when turning left...!?

POST 5Original post

Happens in most vehicles; I noticed it more in my van on cold days - swing off a dually round a sweeping exit and the the interior goes cold - assumed it's just air being centrifugally moved about (scientific description?!) same with the smell of fuel from the bikes in the back - no leaks but the same effect; the fuel vapours around the bike are moved around into the cabin like the cold air........

POST 6Original post

T350 Brad said: wondering if anyone else has experienced a cold draft when turning!?!?! Yes. I think there must be flaps in the A/C system which divert air to mix warm/cool airstreams and give the precise temperature for the climate control system. When you turn a corner the forces on the flaps are enough to make them move a bit and cause the effect you mention. In one of my cars if the fans are running quite quickly you can even hear a change in note at the same time.
