Is this strange or normal?

[W2 NCC]

Could you guys put my mind to rest with something that I have noticed earlier on today that I've not noticed before.

When my heater is on between half & full on the blower to the windscreen, when I squirt water on the windscreen with the wiper arm pulled towards me, at the same time the heater blower level goes up 2 bars for around 5 seconds.

Anyone else noticed this on theirs or could there be an underlying issue lurking?

Cheers in advance peeps....

Guess mine must just be special then

So you have the windscreen button pressed and you've adjusted it to 3/4 blower speed?

Any particular heat?

I'll try mine after I've had my dinner

On full heat Carl, I've since noticed it goes up whatever setting the fan motor is on.

Looks like your car is special pal as mine didn't change at all.

Yey I'm not going mad lol

I've been reading up everywhere to try & find out why it does it but to no avail.

 

[tony mc]

mines done it for years so don't worry mate

 

[CHEZ]

Normal.
My B7 did it, my A5 does it.
Why? Hmmmmm, sure someone knows lol

 

[Dani_B19]

Mine doesn't it as well mate, not sure why.

 

[W2 NCC]

The worrying thing is I've had the car nearly 4 yrs & I've only noticed it in the last couple of weeks.
Got me thinking why some do it & some don't tho hmmmmm

Both my A4's (and I think all A4's?) switch the heater to recirculate when you squirt the windscreen. I think, so you don't get screenwash stink in the car (very posh).

It might have something to do with that??

My b6 does this. It is either the above mentioned, or to heat up the water that is being sprayed onto the windscreen, to help defrost the windscreen. I think it only happens at a certain temperature.
