Kmvguy83's E70 LOG

[Kmvguy83]

Update:
-List of things to check.

List of things to check:
-Whirling noise when AC is on.
-Possible blower motor

-Huff of refrigerant smell on cold starts
-Possible evaporator leak, will check as soon as extended warranty transfers over.

-Passenger A/C zoning has different temperature than the driver. It seems to always run a bit hotter than the driver side.
-Probably related to problem above.

-Power steering cap leak.
-Need to order a new seal for the cap.

My car (e70 3.0si) exhibits the same behaviour; the air coming out from the passenger side seems to be always a bit warmer vs. driver side....

Will update you on the details once I find out more about this.
It can't be normal for sure.

Do you also happen to smell refrigerant from the vents on start ups?

Check your climate temp settings in the i drive first. Match the direction of air flow and temp bias on driver and passenger sides.
