Draught!!

[MadTruckeer]

Evening all.
Dunno if it's just me but does anyone else have a cold draught down the side of right leg when travelling along.
Sorry if it's been said before

Check the door seals and what direction and temperature the heater controls set to.

[Sparks]

Nope, nice and toasty in mine. Sorry that doesn't help other than to maybe say it's not the norm....

[Ron240]

Doesn't seem normal to me either.

Morning all, thanks for replies....got heater set high!
Vents set correctly heater onto feet but really cold draught both sides of car!
Mrs complaining too, will have to investigate further.

I have a Puma ST, picked it up brand new on 6th Jan this year and i get a draught when i turn a corner sometimes. i notice it coming home from the gym and i've bare legs.

i had two Fiesta ST-Lines prior to this Puma, both from new, and both experienced a draught as i went round a roundabout, mostly on exit from a roundabout or a hard left hand turn.

i've always assumed it was steering column/suspension shifting and creating a gap somewhere but given that it has happened almost identically across three cars of the same base chassis i'd assume it is a design issue.

doesn't really bother me, but i've always wondered what was causing it.

Now that you say that its ringing a bell with me.
On previous Focus ST's years ago I would experience a draught of cold air coming through the steering column when going over a steep hump backed bridge where the road went round a bend at the same time, so must be a Ford thing.

It's an air-circulation issue inside the cabin, with cold and warm static pockets of air. When you go round a corner, the air gets moved around, and cold bits of air blow across you.

Thanks for comments all, but I get it wen travelling in straight line(straight rd/motorway).
Will have to hava closer look under dash and check door seals!!
