A little late to this party, but it seems no one has shown up anyway.

On my 2011 JSW TDI w/DSG, I notice that when I'm accelerating the AC/Air will kick off sometimes. If you are using the recirculater, you may be hearing the load of the recirculater changing or it turning off and/or back on, as the recirculater is noisier than just air. If may also be just from the outside air too. I don't know. But I do know the air can get warm from the vents when accelerating. In Sport Mode especially.
