Draft when turning :(

Post by gRoberts »

I'm not sure if this is related to another question i've got going at the moment but I'm experiencing some weird drafts in my car.

When going around a roundabout or turning sharply (around 10 mph +) and I get blasted in the face with a jet of cold air.

It feels like it's coming from around the passenger/driver front floor wells.

Any idea's?

Cheers

Not really, that's just weird :shock: Umm, door seals ok? Are the arch liners ok? I suppose it could be a loose vent, perhaps what you're actually feeling is the absence of warm air...

It is weird, especially since it's not really present when driving straight.

It's definitely a draft/breeze. It's as if someone has opened the window.

It's only just recently started happening but may have something to do with the recirculation flap sticking open/closed (it clicks every 5 sections.)

I have also noticed that the car smells foisty and during the cold weather, I had ice on inside of the wind screen? You could imagine the looks I got when i was scraping the inside of the car ;)

Hmm, it's a bit obvious but is the door hinge ok? How about the window frame, I've seen them fracture on a few other cars - can you push the window and frame away from the door seal?
