I think it is something to do with the air-con redirecting air through the different vents when the climate control is on auto

I tent to agree with that.  Probably the little servo motors adjusting all the relevant flaps and whatnots.

Shouldn't be either.  The pollen filter is quite a snug fit, though the retaining cover could be loose, but then that is more down in the footwells on the passenger side.  And the air con should be permanently pressurised, shouldn't it?  :undecided:
