Mine did that too for a while.  Two things:
	1)  Small Vacuum leak (the vent controls are vacuum actuated)
	2)  vent/air-flow controls need adjusting --- not seated correctly.

Warning:  I'm not a mechanic (if it wasn't obvious by the above description.)
I've have to track down both of the above.

Additional comment:  I HATE AUDI VACUUM CONTROLS!  Good mechanical/electrical
switches should be more reliable to me -- at least if they break it is an
all-or-nothing deal.  I'm not searching for a partially-working-problem.

The most offensive situation was a small vacuum problem.  Not noticable
during daily driving in the Front Range (alt. ~5,000 ft.).  However, 
the heat deciding not to work up to and back from a day's skiing in the 
mountains is hard to take!  

Regards,
Mark
