    2003 transporter auto transmission problems

    I'm the owner of a 2003 T4 TDI with Auto.
    I've just spent $1700.00 having the transmission fixed.It would develope a terrible shudder when the vehicle reached about 60kph.
    It needed a new torque converter.It had done about 98,000kms.
    I have since spoken to 2 other TDI owners who have had exactly the same problem.
    A mechanic I spoke to yesterday said it's a common problem with T4 VWs
    It seems to me that it's possibly a engineering design fault by Volkswagen.
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    not happy to hear that

    just bought a 2003 T4 with 110k and intermittently have a bit of shuddering around 70kph

    is it better to get this done asap before it gets worse?
