Default Heater airflow AU1

Hi everyone

I have a 1999 au Forte 70000k's and a great car.but when I have the heater on the airflow temperature is temporarily much hotter only when I make a right hand turn.Are there any suggestions to what may be causing this.

Many thanks

let me get this straight ... u turn your dial to heat (red zone) and cold air comes out the vents, but when you make a right hand turn, hot air comes out?

With the heating full on the red zone everything seems fine except for when I turn right the temperature increases significantly.I am now thinking that this is what the temperature should be when the dial is full on the red zone.Maybe there is a blockage or something.

Have you done this in a carpark? You know, say full left lock for 4 turns and then the opposite? Have you got a thermometer to say stick to the front vents to measure? That would be very interesting data!
