smoke from interior air vents when air con is on!

Does anyone know what causes this or how to fix it? Seems to happen when the air con has been on for 30 mins or more and then i get smoke coming into the interior until i switch it to 'econ' mode which stops the smoke almost right away.
Is it drain holes? Where should i be looking in order to track the problem down?
Thanks

I've had this too but only on a long run 1h 30min +, still not got the bottom of it?!.. Had it checked with VAGCOM and I had a Air Quality sensor fault (by the air filter) which was replaced.. Not done a long run since so I'm not sure if it has cured it but is interesting that yours does it a lot sooner than mine did?!.. If anyone has any thoughts on this I would also be interested..
