A/C Heating while turning

[Gamite]

I dunno if you guys are the same, but some of you noticed that when you take sharp turns, the heating gets hotter or cooler depending on which way you're turning?

I've noticed it in both mine and my dad's e34. Wondering if anyone here has the same problem, and knows what its caused by?

I have noticed the same. I can't be sure of the cause, but have some suspicions:
- leaky heater core (do you smell coolant?)
- water pump (maybe the pressure isn't high enough
- air in lines (requires full bleed/flush/vacuum/refill)

The only reason it would get hotter is for more hot coolant to reach the heater core. These are the only reasons I could think of.

Hm, yea, the heater core makes sense, thanks..
