It is not the fan that blows, but rather the fresh air stream coming due to 
the cars' motion. It only happens when the car is moving, right?

This is a very tipical Audi problem (at least I saw and repaired it on 3 
cars already).
If you remove your glove compartment and do some acrobatic, you'll see a 
vacuum valve that controls the fresh air input/recirculation flap @ the AC 
coil. The valve is twisted in to a plastic bracket which is a part of the 
whole AC housing. The bracket usualy snaps broken, leaving the valve hanging 
in the air. If it's the case, the flap goes into the default (fresh air IN).
